In Japan, rental services for a japanese girlfriend or japanese boyfriend have been around, but I recently noticed that you could rent a Japanese grandma for the the day and it got me interested.
Apparently, you can ask her to act like she’s your grandma and do stuff together, help out with house chores, attend family events, or simply ask for life advice, basically anything within reason. So in this video, I share my experience with you renting a Japanese grandmother for a day and the first thing I asked her to do was make me a traditional Japanese bento which later we’ll be taking to the park later for hanami to enjoy the Cherry Blossoms.

You can rent a grandma in Japan?
Yummy
@@TH-camtail YOU THINK RENTING A GRANDMA IS YUMMY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
@@alaskamadelin1236 what are you try to say? I don’t understand you lol
@@TH-camtail do you think renting a grandma is yummy in Japan?
Its actually a really good idea tbh. The grandma gets to spend time interacting with others, making her feel less lonely. Seems like a win win to both parties.
She wins money + company so double win
stay creepy Japan
not gonna lie,it kinda made me feel disgusted,yeah she makes a living but doesnt feels normal
@@lebedev6954respect everyone culture, you dont live there if it bother you go live on sentinel island
@@asgaming2019 i dont even get to go anywhere else then my village,yeah i should respect culturrs but everyone should not take the respect directly,they should earn it,for example,i dont have to respect everyone,not everyone have to respect me
I could not let her go, she’s such a sweetheart. They say a lot of jobs like this are because they are lonely or want to be part of something bigger.
Me too
What a great job liked this one.
I know!! Same!!
I initially found it weird, but it does make a lot of sense.... the kids move away and you don't see the grandkids as much as you want. Even my Nana does that, she moved back east and gets antsy if I don't text for a few days ^^;
This is both heartwarming and a little sad. Honestly I’ve give just about anything to spend one more day with my grandmother.
and more than a tad creepy!
@@89. that too. 😂😂
Me too, not to mention my mother, my father, and my older brother who just passed. Ask those questions now people as the ones who can answer them may be gone tomorrow!
Same..at 42, I have only my mother alive in my tree. I wish I had spent more time with my grandmas
@@jeremymitchell5178 The relatives I now have questions for are all gone. Do yourself a favor, and think long and hard about questions you might have that only your mother can answer.
Never have i expected a Paolo video to have that title 😂
Now this is the quality content I come for. This is such a unique experience!
Glad you liked this video!
Whoa how?vid 20 mins ago but reply is 3 hour ago😂😅
Where did you rent one?
This comment 15 hours ago and the video was uploaded 12 hours ago.
@@TheRandomVideos_YT sometimes youtube recommends unlisted videos accidentally which causes this to happen.
I would love to do that. All my grandparents are now deceased. There is something special about the age and wisdom of older generations ❤
There are plenty of elderly that would welcome your attention. ❤
Yup I always wonder what I would give to speak with my grandparents one last time
I’ve heard of renting a boyfriend or girlfriend in Japan, but never a grandma. She seems so sweet! I haven’t personally seen my maternal grandma since I was 12 years old, so this was so heartwarming to watch.
There’s renting a family also.
You can rent a uncle to
@@Yxl_Wataru You can rent a fat guy as well.
Well, i didn’t’ plan on crying today but here we are. This video reminded me so much of my time with my Nanna and the great conversations we had and the advice she gave me as a young man. She was my best friend and I miss her so much.
I miss my Japanese grandma. She died 6 years ago. She was awesome
This is such a nice service. Sadly, not everyone would have access to such a nice and loving grandmother. In my case, my grandmother died when I was very young so I don't really remember my interactions with her. I only remember her from photos.
If I were in Japan right now, I would probably rent her service just to experience having a Japanese grandmother - someone who lived a different culture and era from me.
On a macro perspective, this would be a great way for young people of Japan to personally know of grandma figure, who they normally may not have access to due to their circumstances.
Thank you so much for sharing this day with us Paolo
someone mentioned it in another comment, but this is a great idea for the elderly in japan. mainly because of the high percentages of lonely deaths in elders, this is a great way to keep them active and socialized. i hope this becomes more popular and a lot more people and other cultures can get involved with this idea.
Maybe in Japan but not in America way too dangerous
As someone who only had a grandmother for a short span of years before she passed, I find this video to be incredibly heartwarming and lovely. I think this is a wonderful idea for those who want a kind touch or just a warm soul to be around them for a day. Not to mention, getting to go outside and just enjoy their company, and to learn from them also, sounds like a decent idea for both parties. I loved this video! She was so nice!
At 75, grandma is so beautiful and she looks so healthy 😇
it's all those omega 3s from their heavy fish diet swear it makes them all live over 100 lol
New manga serie, Rent-a-Grandma just dropped
It is not a manga
That would be entertaining, no lie. A funny slice of life manga would slap
That would be so much better than Rent A Girlfriend ngl 😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏
@@alaskamadelin1236 no shit sherlock
Hentai?
I lost my grandma 2 years ago and it still hurts this makes me smile seeing this
I'm so sorry for your loss
Same, my grandma pasta away on September 14th, 2 years ago, but this makes me happy.
@@wmarch88 OMG I'm so sorry for yours too
@@alaskamadelin1236 Thanks.
@@wmarch88my grandma also pasta, but then she tomato sauce!
She is so comfortable in her own skin. Love it. She is cool. Bring her back.

HELP
My Japanese Ganda made me a bento for school every day and we all helped cook dinner with her. She also cleaned our rooms while we were at school and did laundry. She always had us go for a walk with her in the evening down to the river so we could pick watercrest for her.
i would fall in love with her instantly. i miss my grandma. the bit where he said "i asked her how to raise my son" made me tear up. awesome video
you can tell grandma was a super cutie in her youth.
She's still a cutie!
A cutie yes, but her personality and life seemed way ahead of her time too. I think she was a trailblazing woman of her time. 👍
@@bonwatcher this
She’s lovely! When one gets older, it’s good to keep doing what you have love doing. This is ikigai that helps people grow younger as they age. 🤗
DANG, I am jealous!!! We need a service like this in the US. Since my mom and grandmother passed away this service would go big here I think. I would rent...
Wow, this is nice. Rather than sitting at home along, she is now spending time with a family. No more lonely feeling....
You are assuming she's lonely. My elderly mom in her late 70s has a TON of friends she sees regularly. Elderly, widowed women are not necessarily lonely. That's just a stereotype!
@@EP-qi8edremember everyone is different, we can't assume whether they are lonely or not.
She seems to have an active social life. I think she is providing the service for other lonely people
Aww, this is so heartwarming. It allows comfort & company for both parties. I hope you keep in touch with her because she’s such a lovely grandma ❤️
This warmed my heart. I miss my Obachan so much😢
She’s such a beautiful lady. Her warmth is felt through the screen. This was great. Best wishes to both of you. Please bring her back for New Years 🫶🏼
I lost my grandma a couple years back so this is making me miss her extra hard! Its so sweet! Getting to spend time being taken care of and remember her sounds like a great way to spend a day
She is such a lovely woman. She clearly enjoys cooking, as evidenced by the abundance of affection in the meals.
My favorite thing about all your videos is just showing how very different (not better or worse) Japanese culture is and how little I know about it. Thank you for showing these little, intimate glimpses into Japanese life.
I understand the service if you have grandparents that past away very early in life it would be nice to have one again
I lost my grandmother last week and this video reminded of just how amazing she was. She was sweetest grandmother you could ask for.. I miss her cooking, her jokes and her laugh. Thanks for this. Grandmothers can be the biggest difference in our lives ❤
I'm so sorry for your loss! There is one thing I'd like to share and I hope you're okay with this. Please take your time when grieving and keep in mind that there's no time limit!
She was just lovely, you should have made a longer vid, she has so much life experience to share.
Great video, and I love that you managed to find a fun and unique subject to share with your audience. This one touched my heart a bit as it reminded me of the few but very warm memories I have of my Grandmother. Thank you so much for this video!
Omg the sweetness❤️❤️❤️❤️love this paolo your channel is one of my favorite
Paolo your work is amazing, thank you for sharing these stories world wide! You're amazing at bringing smiles
Glad you like them!
The quality of Content is unmatched. ✨❤ thank you for sharing such a beautiful experience.🦋
Aw, so beautiful and happy. Reminds me so much of watching my grandma cook while telling stories of people I had never seen and places I had never been. I wish I had been old enough to understand her unique experiences and recipes to record it all.
Decades after her passing I have still been trying to recreate the flavors and experiences she gave me to pass on to my children. There have been successes and failures along the way, yet always with a laugh as I try to impart the pieces of her I cherished the most to them.
A person they never got to meet who was so involved in my daily life as a child. I was influenced by her generosity and knowledge in ways I did not realize until becoming a parent myself.
What a great idea! A service for older folks to share their experiences with people yearning to learn. Win-win! I'd be interested in seeing another similar episode.
This episode was so cool. It warmed my heart. Great idea, excellent job.
Pablo, this was lovely! Please rent more grandmas! Or this lovely one again! 💕
Always great wholesome content, this one was fun to watch!
Glad to hear it!
I never imagined myself seeing content like this. Rent a grandma series is a breath of a fresh air. Good job Paulo-kun
Love this one, Paolo! What a gem she is and what a great resource for young families to use when they do not have family close! 🥰
Awesome video as always Paolo. Your Japanese Grandma is full of wisdom and knowledge about life when things were more simpler.
I always loved being in the kitchen with both my grandmas. It's how I learned cooking and baking. And I got to hear the best stories!
Grandma is amazing!!! This service does alot to connect people and share knowledge and heartfelt memories. Beautiful
Rent a Girlfriend ❌ Rent a Grandma ✅
OMG I LOVED HER PICTURES IN THE END and the final b roll of her throwing the flowers in ur face hahahaha what a FANTASTIC Video!!!!!!! ❤
How cool is that! Thanks you for sharing your experience 🙋🏼
your rental gramma was warm and sweet. It would be great to spend some time learning from her and hanging out.
Really breaking boundary with this one. Loved it, showcase how a grandma can still embrace very innovative concept of a job role!
She's so lovely. Thank you for sharing her with us.
the title is crazy 💀💀
Should check out the beautiful wholesome ones where those like paolo get an unforgettable mother experience.
did they went to love hotel?
paolo wildin😂
😈😈😈
My thoughts exactly 😭
What a trip. So much fun. Love everything on your channel. Always looking forward to the next one! Thanks!!! 😁
I just got back from Japan last week and we did a homestay in Hagi with a grandma who was the best person ever. What a coincidence!
She seems like such a lovely lady! I'm sure I would enjoy spending time with her, as well.
This is so wholesome! Love the rent-a-grandma!!! ❤
LOVED it! Would love to see more videos like this...what a lovely lady! Thanks.
I think this is sweet. She wants to share and have the company and Paolo gets that too. Reminds me of one Christmas like 40 years ago when we adopted a Grandpa for the evening. He was a resident at a retirement home without local family. He got a proper family Christmas dinner etc. I was a teen and my grandma lived with us and I remember dreaming they’d hit it off. Not to be, but it was a nice gift my parents gave to the random lonely old man. 😊
man this was so entertaining to watch, great video Paolo!
This is so cute and wholesome. I love this.
This is a really nice and heartwarming video, I would love to have this in the USA. I really miss my own grandma, it’s nice to see that there are good people out there trying to offer their services and make people happy with their knowledge and wisdom.
This is precious. I really want to try this on my next trip to Japan. Unfortunately with a large generation gap in my family I had already lost all my grandparents before I graduated college. I miss them and wish I could have gotten to know them better. It's great to still maintain a connection to all the generations in our society as we age.
Wow! The bento looks beautiful and the food even more beautiful! Oh, and your Grandma is the most beautiful! Must be all that healthy home-made food!
I absolutely loved this video! Your grandma was so sweet! 💗
Loved how grandma had a smile almost the whole time :)
I'm SO jealous!!! What a fabulous interaction for both Grandma & "grandchild"❤❤❤
This was awesome! I learned so much from her. Grandparents are so cool and full of wisdom. Bonus points if they love to talk a lot. Lol
Hope she becomes a lifelong friend.
thats now how it works dawg. pay up bruh
Its just business
yeah, go make friends with the homeless guy around the corner
Oh that was great! She is such a sweet lady.
do a top 10 vegetarian food in Tokyo please!!! not just tofu and vegetables but meat alternatives, as it's growing in popularity in the west.
As someone who's fond of Japan's culture since I was a kid, the title doesn't suprise me. And also, the "families" are mainly rented for familial love and chores not s*xual favors or innuendos so keep your creepy minds out of this.
It is lovely to see Paola getting along well with grandma!
Love the concept! More off-the-beaten path stuff now and then!
AWHHH. This is so wholesome. This is why they live so long cause they live communal and always have interactions with their people
In Taiwanese its Obasan so super closer and can see the transliteration. I miss my grandmother everyday and would love a service like this on any day. I would do anything to have my grandmother here.
I first rolled my eyes when I saw the subject but the first 5 minutes was so heartwarming. I stand corrected and really enjoyed all of it! Thanks so much Paolo!
That was pretty cool and allot of fun! Thanks for sharing this interesting service since I have never seen it before! 🌷😊👍
This was adorable. I know you like to get a little piece of personal info from people you interview in the day in a life series. But I think you might do well with straight up interviews of people in general.
this was great to watch! she seemed so sweet. 🙂
This is so awesome and heartwarming, I would love this! The only grandmother I had growing up wasn't very good and only favored her other daughter, my aunt and her son. The rest of the grandkids weren't important. I did "adopt" my own Grammy when I was a teenager and she was so much fun!
Even when I was a kid, I've always preferred being around older adults than kids. At my old job I worked with a lot of older adults, as well as adults with disabilities. My favorite part of my job was visiting the different senior centers. I was often invited to their congregate meals and many had retired chefs in the kitchens. The conversations and the stories they shared were sometimes wild!
I no longer live near my grandma, but not a day passes where I don't think about all the times we shared doing small things together. Her teaching me how to bake and having picnics or going on walks just don't happen anymore, since she is no longer in good health. Thank you for sharing this video and letting me reminisce about how it used to be when I got to see my grandma.
This was so wholesome!!! i love it!!!
This was amazing! I love this for both of you.
Amazing video!
Such a creative idea, tbh at first I hesitated to click on the notification, But as always your videos never disappoint!
I absolutely love this episode.
So cool...I love it! Old people really have alot to share and are very informative and intellectual about life. ❤❤❤
This is the most wholesome video I've seen in a long time 😊
What a total sweetheart and a good cook.Who kmew renting a grandma would be so fun and not as weird as I initially thought 😀
How fun! Thanks for sharing this video.
Grandma is adorable, and I love this idea!
she’s so adorable - great video Paolo 👍👍👍👍👍
Congratulations! Unusual and usual in the amusing, entertaining, illustrative perspective.
This was too cute! I never had a bond with my grandmother. She wasn't loving at all to any of her children nor grandchildren.... Maybe it was the culture back then but it did make me miss having that in my life. So this is very heartwarming. ❤
She was so sweet, I love that, I wish we had that in America....Grandma's are always awesome!
This was awesome! Gramma seems so sweet! Her food looks very yummy. Makes me miss my grandmother a lot tho.
We love this 🥰
This was great ! You find the most interesting things to make your videos a great experience. What a cool thing, renting a grandma… I want to rent a grandma too. ❤
This is a great idea. This benefit both parties. A very wholesome video.
Your best video ever!! Love this concept, and wish they had here in the UK.
Makes me want to rent a grandma in Japan. Oba chan was so sweet and helpful
