Hey guys! We're finally moving! I'm so excited.

I remember a few years ago, before we even started YouTube, I think

of someone filming a Japanese moving company

packing all of this stuff really neatly and amazingly

And I can't believe I'm here in this situation now

where *I* get to film a Japanese moving company!

So I can't wait to show you guys what it's like!

The moving company we're using is called Art Hikkoshi Center (Art Moving Center)

which is one of the most famous moving companies here in Japan.

We got special permission to film from them

And full disclosure, this isn't a sponsored video but we are getting our move for free.

So after we chose them as our moving company, the very first thing was about a week ago

we had a guy come here and he had this pad

where he walked around in our rooms and made notes

You're not taking any of these shelves, correct?

Rachel, you want to keep this one, right?

Moving day will be noisy and our truck is going to take up a lot of space

so it'll be bothersome for the neighbors.

So before we start that day we'll greet the neighbors

and also give them a box of tissues to apologize in advance for the inconvenience.

Something I didn't know Japanese moving companies do

I don't know if it's all of them or just this one

but they can take our old appliances to get rid of them,

we new appliances that we could buy through the moving company.

And for a lot of those items you could get it cheaper than you can get it in the store.

So we actually ended up buying almost all of our new appliances through them.

And when we move into our new place they're going to bring all that in and set it up for us.

My name is Toyoda. I'm in charge of today's move.

We will start with packing the entrance hallway.

We have a special box that is specifically for packing shoes.

We finished packing the entrance so now we'll put up the protector sheets.

He's so quick! I've done this when I was in high school, a part time job.

Do you remember doing all of this ourselves?

Could I go through the stuff in this room with you?

Where in the new apartment will these things go?

I don't know where to put stuff in our new apartment yet.

We have some things we're taking ourselves.

even those they're carrying to our car for us.

If you do this the paper spreads itself out.

Oh, and that makes it easier to pick paper to wrap.

we place a piece of paper with number on it.

you can easily tell the things in this box belong to the 4th section of this cabinet.

Before taking this cabinet, we'll wipe it first.

I was not expecting them to wipe the cat litter off of the bottom of our furniture too.

Our kitchen counter looks warmer and more comfortable than I am.
