House Hunters International

Living like locals in Misawa, Japan (36x1)

Air date: Apr 12, 2012

California couple Christine and Brian Gardner never considered moving to Japan. But when the Misawa Air Force Base offered Brian his dream job, they decided it was time for an adventure. Relocating with an energetic toddler is tough, and adjusting to a new culture is daunting. With their furniture en route, Christine and Brian are anxious to move out of their cramped hotel room and find a home fast. The military offers on base housing, which is convenient and affordable, but small. Off base housing might be more spacious and offer an authentic experience, but might not have the comforts of home. Real estate agent Shino Breeden is up for the challenge, but with a budget of $2500 a month and indecisive clients, there may need to be some compromises. Find out when House Hunters International arrives in the land of sushi and shrines, Misawa, Japan.
