    The State of California has declared a state of emergency across the entire state in preparation for this winter’s El Niño.

    According to NOAA （ the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ）, there is a more than 90% probability of a very strong El Niño occurring from fall 2026 through winter 2027.

    Furthermore, it is expected to reach “historic strength” between October and December, surpassing any levels recorded since 1950.

    [NOW], before heavy rain and strong winds hit in earnest. 🌧 Points to Check Right Away

    ☀ ️Things that surprised me after moving to Hawaii. “Why does it get so dirty!?” Actually, this is a common experience in Hawaii. ｜ Aloha Clean ✨

    This is Aloha Clean, a familiar name from K-Zoo Radio.
    Life in Hawaii is comfortable, but the climate and environment here are different from Japan’s, which brings its own unique “cleaning challenges.”
    Many people think, “It’s just my house ？ ,” but this is actually a very common issue.

    ① Windows turn white quickly …
    In Hawaii, where the ocean is nearby, salt in the sea breeze easily adheres to windows and window frames, causing whitish stains and cloudiness over time.
    The solution is ・ ・
    to wipe down your windows and window frames regularly ｜—the key is not to let the grime build up

    a> No matter how much you clean, the sand just keeps appearing …
    Fine sand finds its way into your home not only after a trip to the beach, but also via sandals and carried by the wind.
    It also tends to accumulate in hidden places, such as under the sofa or in the gaps between furniture.
    Here’s what to do: ・ ・
    Get into the habit of shaking off sand at the entrance ｜ and regularly clean even under furniture

    Limescale builds up quickly on showers and sinks
    Even though you clean them every day, before you know it, white stains appear … .
    In Hawaii, limescale and soap scum tend to linger, and if left untreated, they become difficult to remove.
    The solution is ・ ・
    to wipe away water droplets after use ｜—it’s important to clean before the grime sets in

    The floor feels somewhat sticky …
    In addition to moisture and skin oils, fine sand and dust brought in from outside can mix with these substances, making the floor feel sticky.
    Solutions: ・ ・
    Incorporate mopping in addition to vacuuming ｜ Use a cleaner suitable for your flooring material

    a> Ceiling fans covered in dust ！
    In Hawaii, where fans run year-round, dust tends to accumulate on the blades and can spread throughout the room before you even notice.
    Here’s what to do ・ ・
    Check high places regularly ｜ Don’t strain yourself to reach hard-to-reach spots

    Actually, all of these are typical for Hawaii.
    Unlike in Japan,
    ✔ sea breeze
    ✔ sand
    ✔ humidity
    ✔ air conditioners and ceiling ring fans
    —these unique Hawaiian environmental factors make cleaning a bit more challenging.
    That’s why many people feel like, “Even though I’m working hard to clean, it gets dirty again right away ….”

    By incorporating professional cleaning on a regular basis, you can prevent dirt from building up, making your daily cleaning routine much easier.
    It also improves airflow and boosts your luck! Leave the cleaning to us.

    Las Vegas Real Estate Information （ September ）

    Hello.

    As September comes to a close, Las Vegas is finally starting to feel the end of this long summer.

    However, it actually rained quite heavily from Monday night through yesterday, Tuesday. Although Las Vegas usually gets very little rain, in this dry climate, heavy rain that falls over a short period of time is not easily absorbed by the ground, which can lead to flooded roads and flash floods.

    It was also a blessing for this desert city.

    From here on out, temperatures will gradually drop, and Las Vegas will enter one of the most pleasant seasons of the year.


    Now, let’s take a look at the Las Vegas real estate market in August.

    The median price for single-family homes was $ 475,000, down slightly from the all-time high of $ 490,000 set in May and June. This also represents a decline of about 1% compared to the same month last year.

    The median price for condos ／ and townhouses was $ 299,900.

    Meanwhile, the inventory of properties currently on the market that have not yet received an offer stands at 7,590 single-family homes and 2,714 condos ／ and townhouses.

    While home prices haven’t collapsed significantly, sales volume has stagnated and inventory is rising. It could be said that the current Las Vegas market is one where both sellers and buyers are taking a wait-and-see approach.


    Not only in the real estate market, but in Las Vegas as a whole, there have been some concerning changes recently.

    This year, the decline in the number of tourists visiting the Strip has been a hot topic.

    According to a report from Clark County Aviation, airport passenger traffic in Las Vegas in August totaled approximately 4.15 million, a decrease of about 9.2% compared to the same month last year. This is believed to be partly due to general travelers holding off on trips because of high prices and rising travel costs.

    In fact, news of restaurant closures and reduced show schedules on the Strip has begun to surface, giving the area a somewhat desolate feel.

    On the other hand, not everything in Las Vegas is struggling.
    While the number of casual tourists has declined, gaming revenue on the Strip in August increased by 0.7%.

    Business demand—such as from conventions—and high-spending consumers appear to be relatively robust, with convention attendance up 11.2% from January through July of this year. Furthermore, since travel and spending among the wealthy remain strong, some luxury hotels appear to be adopting a policy of maintaining high room rates rather than lowering them to boost occupancy.

    Rather than simply facing an economic downturn or a decline in tourist numbers, is Las Vegas currently experiencing a shift in the demographics of its visitors—and specifically, those who spend money?
    Furthermore, large-scale projects continue to move forward on the Strip, including the construction of the new stadium for the MLB’s Oakland A’s.
    While there are signs of a slight slowdown, Las Vegas still appears to be continuing to invest in the future.


    And this month, on a topic completely unrelated to real estate or tourism, I had the opportunity to reflect once again on what it means for me personally to live in the United States.

    My family and I had to seek medical care at the hospital several times this month.

    I’ll omit the details for personal reasons, but having actually experienced the ER, the hospital, and the subsequent rehabilitation, I was once again surprised by how different the American healthcare system is from Japan’s.

    First, a major difference from Japan is that you don’t know how much you’ll ultimately have to pay when you leave the hospital. You undergo examinations and tests, go home without knowing your final out-of-pocket cost at that moment, and are later notified of the bill after it has been processed by the insurance company.

    Since the out-of-pocket costs vary greatly depending on your insurance plan, I realized that choosing the right health insurance is extremely important in the U.S.

    Another thing I realized this time is that having a Primary Care Physician （ (PCP) or a Concierge Doctor is crucial for maintaining a connection with doctors and hospitals.

    A “Concierge Doctor” is a system where you pay a membership fee separate from your regular health insurance, allowing you to easily contact a doctor directly when needed and receive personalized care. In the U.S., it can sometimes take a long time to get an appointment with a specialist, but I think it’s a very reassuring system to have a doctor who is familiar with your health status on a daily basis, whom you can consult immediately in an emergency, and who can refer you to a specialist if necessary.

    Also, in an emergency, people tend to think they should just go to the nearest ER, but I learned for the first time that if you end up being hospitalized, the situation can vary significantly from hospital to hospital—for example, regarding communication with your regular doctor or access to your medical records.

    There are several hospitals to choose from in Las Vegas. With this in mind, I think it’s a good idea to research in advance which ER to go to in an emergency.

    Furthermore, rules regarding visiting hours and procedures vary significantly depending on the hospital or rehabilitation facility. Some facilities even allow dogs to visit patients if certain conditions are met.

    These are things you don’t usually have the chance to learn about, but I discovered a lot through my own experience.

    If I have the opportunity, I’d like to share more information on this topic as part of my guide to living in Las Vegas.


    Until then, I hope you’re all doing well, and please enjoy Las Vegas’s brief fall season.

    Las Vegas Real Estate Information （ September ）

    Hello.

    As September comes to a close, Las Vegas is finally starting to feel the end of this long summer.

    However, it actually rained quite heavily from Monday night through yesterday, Tuesday. Although Las Vegas usually gets very little rain, in this dry climate, heavy rain that falls over a short period of time is not easily absorbed by the ground, which can lead to flooded roads and flash floods.

    It was also a blessing for this desert city.

    From here on out, temperatures will gradually drop, and Las Vegas will enter one of the most pleasant seasons of the year.


    Now, let’s take a look at the Las Vegas real estate market in August.

    The median price for single-family homes was $ 475,000, down slightly from the all-time high of $ 490,000 set in May and June. This also represents a decline of about 1% compared to the same month last year.

    The median price for condos ／ and townhouses was $ 299,900.

    Meanwhile, the inventory of properties currently on the market that have not yet received an offer stands at 7,590 single-family homes and 2,714 condos ／ and townhouses.

    While home prices haven’t collapsed significantly, sales volume has stagnated and inventory is rising. It could be said that the current Las Vegas market is one where both sellers and buyers are taking a wait-and-see approach.


    Not only in the real estate market, but in Las Vegas as a whole, there have been some concerning changes recently.

    This year, the decline in the number of tourists visiting the Strip has been a hot topic.

    According to a report from Clark County Aviation, airport passenger traffic in Las Vegas in August totaled approximately 4.15 million, a decrease of about 9.2% compared to the same month last year. This is believed to be partly due to general travelers holding off on trips because of high prices and rising travel costs.

    In fact, news of restaurant closures and reduced show schedules on the Strip has begun to surface, giving the area a somewhat desolate feel.

    On the other hand, not everything in Las Vegas is struggling.
    While the number of casual tourists has declined, gaming revenue on the Strip in August increased by 0.7%.

    Business demand—such as from conventions—and high-spending consumers appear to be relatively robust, with convention attendance up 11.2% from January through July of this year. Furthermore, since travel and spending among the wealthy remain strong, some luxury hotels appear to be adopting a policy of maintaining high room rates rather than lowering them to boost occupancy.

    Rather than simply facing an economic downturn or a decline in tourist numbers, is Las Vegas currently experiencing a shift in the demographics of its visitors—and specifically, those who spend money?
    Furthermore, large-scale projects continue to move forward on the Strip, including the construction of the new stadium for the MLB’s Oakland A’s.
    While there are signs of a slight slowdown, Las Vegas still appears to be continuing to invest in the future.


    And this month, on a topic completely unrelated to real estate or tourism, I had the opportunity to reflect once again on what it means for me personally to live in the United States.

    My family and I had to seek medical care at the hospital several times this month.

    I’ll omit the details for personal reasons, but having actually experienced the ER, the hospital, and the subsequent rehabilitation, I was once again surprised by how different the American healthcare system is from Japan’s.

    First, a major difference from Japan is that you don’t know how much you’ll ultimately have to pay when you leave the hospital. You undergo examinations and tests, go home without knowing your final out-of-pocket cost at that moment, and are later notified of the bill after it has been processed by the insurance company.

    Since the out-of-pocket costs vary greatly depending on your insurance plan, I realized that choosing the right health insurance is extremely important in the U.S.

    Another thing I realized this time is that having a Primary Care Physician （ (PCP) or a Concierge Doctor is crucial for maintaining a connection with doctors and hospitals.

    A “Concierge Doctor” is a system where you pay a membership fee separate from your regular health insurance, allowing you to easily contact a doctor directly when needed and receive personalized care. In the U.S., it can sometimes take a long time to get an appointment with a specialist, but I think it’s a very reassuring system to have a doctor who is familiar with your health status on a daily basis, whom you can consult immediately in an emergency, and who can refer you to a specialist if necessary.

    Also, in an emergency, people tend to think they should just go to the nearest ER, but I learned for the first time that if you end up being hospitalized, the situation can vary significantly from hospital to hospital—for example, regarding communication with your regular doctor or access to your medical records.

    There are several hospitals to choose from in Las Vegas. With this in mind, I think it’s a good idea to research in advance which ER to go to in an emergency.

    Furthermore, rules regarding visiting hours and procedures vary significantly depending on the hospital or rehabilitation facility. Some facilities even allow dogs to visit patients if certain conditions are met.

    These are things you don’t usually have the chance to learn about, but I discovered a lot through my own experience.

    If I have the opportunity, I’d like to share more information on this topic as part of my guide to living in Las Vegas.


    Until then, I hope you’re all doing well, and please enjoy Las Vegas’s brief fall season.
