A Home with a Big Garden Sounds Great! But What About Summer in Japan?
Hello!

This is Norika, your Tuesday blog contributor.
When viewing pre-owned homes in Japan, we sometimes find properties with beautiful, spacious gardens.
You might immediately imagine having a BBQ, letting your children or pets play outside, or enjoying gardening.
A large garden can definitely make a home more enjoyable.
However, there is one important thing to consider when owning a home with a garden in Japan:
Maintenance — especially during summer.
Japanese summers are hot and rainy, which means weeds and plants can grow surprisingly fast.
A garden that looks easy to maintain during a viewing may require regular care during the warmer months.
When considering a home with a garden, it is worth thinking about:
* The size of the garden
* Weed control
* Trimming trees and plants
* Cleaning fallen leaves
* Insect control
* Who will maintain the garden while you are away
This is particularly important for international homeowners who may spend part of the year outside Japan.
Who will look after the garden when you are not here?
Of course, this doesn’t mean that a large garden is a bad thing!
A garden can be a wonderful place for BBQs, gardening, children, pets, or simply relaxing outside.
The important thing is to consider not only “Do I like this garden?” but also “Can I comfortably maintain this garden?”
When choosing a home, thinking about how you will actually live there after purchasing it can be just as important as choosing the property itself.
