  1. I’m thinking about starting an ice skating course from April. It costs ¥8800 per month and it’s on Sundays. Is this expensive for a group course or does it sound reasonable? It’s for 45-minute lessons

    I used to (many years ago) do the pay-on-the-day type group lessons for ¥2000-something per day but it’s only on weekdays and I work M-F now.

    I really want to learn skating again properly but I’m just looking into my options now.

  2. Are move-out cleaning services worth it for Japanese apartments?

    I hired one when I moved out of my last rental in the US and feel like I basically broke even–that is, the cost of the cleaning service was about the same as the amount of my deposit I got back… But I’ve never moved out of a Japanese rental and I’m concerned that I’m expected to leave the place ✨***spotless***✨ when I move out.

    So, are cleaning services worth it? Is there a company in Tokyo you (don’t) recommend?
