Expat shares how he rented an old man in Japan
A service in Japan allows people to rent an old man for companionship; you get to choose what type of man you prefer.
We're used to living in a world where renting involves cars, homes, services, etc. These appear ordinary, but renting out an old man sounds peculiar.
An American man, Nick Lange, the CEO of Everpost, a company that helps provide clients with better post-production for their videos, is on a mission to buy a house in Japan.
Lange is in Japan searching for a house and has been sharing his experience on social media. He highlighted the price of rent in Japan, the beauty and kindness of people in Sendai, and, most interestingly, how you can rent an old man.
Nick shared a video showing how you can rent an old man in Japan by visiting Ossan Rental's website and choosing the man you prefer.
You can rent a cultural old man, a kind old man, or even a snuggly old man. The website offers a range of old men, some with profile pictures and others with anime characters.
For 1000 Japanese Yen (R124.00) per hour, you can rent an old man for companionship. This service helps people who are struggling with loneliness and mental health issues.
