thanks!! I always look for what is the best routine for me.
I can't express the amount of respect I have for you for getting up so earlly in the morning, even though you have to be at work in the afternoon. I never had problems getting up early either, but since my work shift starts at 11am, I will sleep until 10. Generally I have huge respect for your self discipline. Thanks for sharing.

As a fellow minimalist living in America, it is nice seeing how different cultures take on minimalism. Thank you for the look into your life!
I'm late, but thank you so much for wearing kimono. I only saw kimono here in my country when I saw a tea ceremony. I like when people wear kimono in their everyday life. You're awesome!
I'm going to use this method! I never was able to be this consistent even when I was living in Japan. Thank you! it's so uplifting!
You are a very positive and pleasant person, I subscribed to your channel today and have already watched almost all of your videos. I am very glad that found you on KZread. Thank you for the amazing content💛

What a beautiful routine !!! Dear Aki, I am new to your Chanel and binge watching your videos. You are a fascinating person. Greetings from your new subscriber from Germany.
Have you always been an early riser? Your routine is so peaceful and inspiring! I’m so glad I found your channel. I hope to incorporate some of these methods into my own life.
I have a suggestion, I've heard you talk about how you like to watch candle flame to relax before going to sleep in your nightly routine video, and I know of a kind of cradle called a woodwick candle where the wick is made of two thin strips of wood in an 'x' shape, my friend had one lit at her house, and the flame was fun to watch and it even crackled and popped softly like a real campfire! It smelled really good, too. My friend tells me that they are more expensive than normal candles though, and they are larger than tea light candles, but I still think they are worth checking out!
I admire your life style and positivity of your personalyti. keep going and inspire this sad world ;)
I gotta live this sort of life that's incredible
imagining most of the people waste their time in their car while in traffic. your routine is great. it's better that humans live in small villages for quiet better life.
When I see your videos I get inspired to become a minimalist, and study Japonês
I just love to watch your videos❤️❤️so calming❤️❤️your videos always inspire me❤️❤️Thank you so so so much❤️❤️
your videos are excellent! this lifestyle is just a dream!!
Your daily routine/life is so inspiring, calm & peacefull to me.
Please present a video about your capsule wardrobe because I want to eliminate most of my clothes and start creating my own. Thank you for being an inspiration for aspirants like me.
Thanks for sharing ur before-sleeping ritual. 😊
Hey I just discovered your channel a few days ago and have been binging all of your videos since!! I really like your outlook on minimalism. I also am intrigued by your smoothie recipe, I've never heard of tomatoes in a smoothie. I'm sorry if you have already, but you should do a what I eat in a day video for a basic day in your life! Curious to see how you include minimalism in your every day diet.

What a simple, yet so interesting weekday! Thank you for sharing
I lîke that candle ritual ! Thanks for sharing your day, very inspiring 🙏🏻
Very stimulating, calming and peaceful. Have you ever thought about putting out the candle by dipping the wick into the wax with a small stick? Edging less smoke.
This makes me realize how messed up routine I've 😒
favourite recipes needed 😮

So seeing your use of the small towel in other videos inspired me to substitute a Turkish towel for my swimsuit bag for swimming & aqua aerobics while traveling because it folds up smaller & dries faster than a Terri cloth towel I used previously. I was surprised how well it does drying one off post shower.
I get tired by just watching you getting up so early. Great video, though!
I love it

First of all, I really enjoy your videos! I also have a question, which you don’t have to answer if you don’t want to of course. I was wondering if you are working only in the afternoon to early evening, is it easy to come by as a minimalist? In my country rent for apartments and such is high and rising. I know you told before you only have one room, but I was curious, I might want to go to Japan myself. Keep up the good content and greetings from the Netherlands!
Take love from India❤️❤️🇮🇳🇮🇳
I like your videos. I think incorporating some of these ideas is a good thing to do. I’m not real sure about that candle in the bedroom at night, being tired, bedtime, lighted candle do not sound to me like a good combination.
Could you make a video on your weekly workout routine?

Great videos, found a link on Reddit and ended up binge watching a dozen of your videos in one sitting. Just curious, compared to the 7 month old video “Minimalist Apartment Tour in small village in Japan.” It seems you are using less things. Is it just that they are mostly of camera or you did get rid of so many of the boxes, ukuleles and so on? Love from Ukraine :D

If you use your sleeping bag everyday, how do you maintain it? Do you wash it every now and then? And you use a folding mattrass on a tatami mat, doesn't the mattrass get wet and mold?

Hi Mr. Samurai ! I’ve been breaking my head many times wondering what would be the female version of the kimono you’re wearing in the same summer light cotton version that you have?. You mentioned the Sou Sou brand for the kimono but couldn’t find the grey kimono cotton like you have, is it that maybe the one you wear is only for men? What would be the women version?. Thank you !!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Lived in Japan as an elementary and junior high school teacher for years and was witness to the morning Jog around the giant Sports Field at 7AM. This is how I used to start my Day in high school but lifted waits in the gym instead and ended up with honors standing in Biology on my Provincial Exam. 93% which would of bin 100 if it was not for the Spanish part. Ha ha ha. I am Canadian eh. These are wise and good habits you want do adapt and get rid of you bad habits. One very bad habit in Japan is the drinking culture however.

I heard if cook zucchini on high heat, it will produce some cancer caused material? Nor sure if it is true or not.

It is a dream to live somewhere with clean air........
