talk about our house and...

I am living with my family(husband, daughter pet cat)now.My house is very old  Japanese style.My parents in law used to live for many years. It was built for 38 years ago.

I moved from Kyoto to Shiga with my family for 5 years ago.
Before we moved, we lived in a very small apartment in Kyoto.
We had only 3 rooms,so my children were not able to have their own rooms,so we decided to move here which is my husband hometown.

At first we lived with my parents in law.But after a few month, I was depressed because I had much stress at that time.
My parents in law loved their grandkids.So when I scolded my children,
my father in law and I often argued.

My husband came back home late every night.They went to bed at 9,so my mother in law was not able to sleep,so she also had much stress.


One day, my father in law happened to buy a neighbor's land because next door senior person moved to another place.We were very lucky because the cost was too cheap like small car.

At that time, my mother in law had been wanted to make her own small house.But my husband and I did not  agree with her.If we would build a small house, probably my parents in law only use it.
We suggested them to make a family size house in neighbor's land.

They asked us( my husband and I) build  and design   a new house.We received their suggestion and thought about the new house plan.We decides to live separately.

This is my parents in law house!
It was built for 1.5 year ago. My husband and I designed it.I believe my parents in law love it.
We seldom argue each other. It is good distance.
We have a good relationship.
When my parents in law go on a trip, I use this house.I invite my friends and have some tea or lunch.

The other day, I invited my city International society members and had a lunch.We enjoyed talking about a lot of things.
These members off course support and help international friendship.






Any way, I enjoy spending my life.I started receiving foreigners after we lived separately.
There are 9 rooms in my old house.We can offer some rooms. Some guests (from Canada,America,Germany)came to my house and stayed.
If my parents in law and I continued to live together and bear that situation, I have not been active as a hostmother.
