The Long-Awaited Married Life ♡
To all the brides-to-be, are you enjoying your "married life" with your partner? ♡
Many brides have probably started living with their partner after getting married. Living together with the one you love ♡ It's truly a happy moment to say "I'm home" and "Welcome back" to each other every day.*
Happiness Doubled, But So Are the Chores!
While every day is filled with love and happiness, one serious issue is "household chores." Living as a couple means there are so many more things to do compared to living alone!
When living alone, no matter how messy the room is, how many days you've had convenience store meals, or how much laundry has piled up, it only bothers you. You get to set your own pace for chores, but when it comes to married life, it’s not that easy.
Laundry piles up twice as fast, and the amount of dishes used also doubles. It would be great if chores could be evenly divided, but if your husband is busy or if the wife is also working full-time, it doesn't go that smoothly.
On top of that, the tasks for wedding preparation start piling up, and it can be overwhelming. Many brides may be feeling exhausted, chased by the many "things to do," including work, chores, and wedding preparations.
Feeling Pressured Every Day..
Laundry, cooking, washing dishes, cleaning, wedding preparations… these tasks are too much for one bride to handle alone. The saying "I could use a cat's paw" really resonates here.
It’s truly sad that a life that should be happy becomes tough from the newlywed stage…
Asking for Help Is Not Something to Be Ashamed Of.
To those brides feeling overwhelmed due to a busy daily life and a long to-do list, there's a service you should definitely know about.
It’s the housekeeping app [Okan], where you can request help with chores starting from an hour and a half! It’s a new housekeeping service that matches brides in need of help with chores with "Okan", who are good at them.*

You might think that "housekeeping services" sound unfamiliar and intimidating. However, [Okan] is a service where people who want a little more ease in their life can use it casually.♡
Let me introduce how you can use it right away♩
Point 1: You can request from just an hour and a half.*
Even though it's called a housekeeping service, it’s not about having someone stay with you all the time like a housekeeper. You can request help for as little as an hour and a half, covering only the time you need! ♡
This could really help in emergencies like, "My in-laws are coming over tonight, and the house is a mess!"
The cost starts at 3,600 yen for 1.5 hours*, which conveniently includes transportation fees (limited to Tokyo's 23 wards)! You can extend by 30 minutes at a cost of 1,200 yen. ♡ This price is one of the lowest in the industry.*
Point 2: You can request help with all types of chores.*
Using [Okan] is super easy! ♡ Just select the chores you want to be done and choose the "Okan" (housekeeper) who is good at those tasks.
You can request a variety of chores, including cleaning rooms, laundry, cooking, shopping, clothing repairs, and even challenging outdoor and plumbing cleaning. ♩

Point 3: You can chat with your assigned worker.*
With [Okan], you can choose your favorite worker and communicate with them directly via chat. ♡ Because you can discuss in detail what you want done, it gives you peace of mind. ♩
For example, you can say, "Please cook dinner for today and make two bento boxes for tomorrow, then clean the bathroom and toilet with the remaining time."
If the worker agrees, you can even ask for tasks related to wedding DIY, such as "folding invitation cards" or "making paper napkin flowers"! How wonderful would it be if they progressed on time-consuming simple tasks?
Being able to choose the staff who comes is also a point◎ You can select available workers from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM via the app and decide who will come after checking their profile and reviews.*
Even those who might be resistant to “having a stranger do their chores” can use the service with peace of mind, as the company has a solid support system in place. Insurance is also included.◎
Here’s an example of how to use it ♩
Even though it’s convenient and reassuring, some may think that they can’t afford to outsource household chores.
However, instead of dining out with your partner because you “lack the time and energy to cook,” requesting [Okan] for 3,600 yen to make healthy meals, along with tomorrow’s bento and prepared dishes, is more economical and healthier for your wallet! ◎
Let’s do chores efficiently and joyfully with [Okan] *
