Little slice of heaven now. There is a touch of Canadian sensitivity to your videos. Understated and lovely.

LOL, Jesse stamping Pancake's little butt-print on the window cracked me up 😂

Absolutely love your videos! We have just bought a 150 year old akiya in Shimane and are very inspired by your stories. Thank you for such beautiful content.

The best part of finding your channel late is how many peaceful hours I have watching them. I learn something new about Japan with every video, thank you.

I really love how you frame your shots and the overall pacing. It's really artistic and relaxing.

まるでドラマを見ているような映像で見入ってました。 素敵な映像の共有ありがとうございます。これからも動画を楽しみにしてます。その前に他の動画もみます。

I was just thinking about you guys and wondering if there was a new video 😊 Pancake is the cutest!

the summer festivals look so lively! I'd love to attend one, one day :D

I lived in the countryside of Niigata Prefecture. Your blog reminds me a lot what I lived there from 1991 to 1993. It's the same life we used to live. The main difference is that we were dekasegis in a cake/cookie/candy/chocolat factory. Loved Japan and all the things that I've learned for life.

you guys seem so kind and polite and looks like you are having a healthy relationship absolute goals, a good example of how i want my life to turn out

Omg I love your videos! The pacing, the music, how you let the background noise slide in. Really beautiful and peaceful. ❤️ Also, so. Many. Spiders. 😳

@@maigomika I’m happy you told us they were harmless in one of the first videos I watched.

I absolutely love your videos!!! I’m binging them all to catch up right now, and they truly take me back to being a kid, watching the PBS channel travel shows!!!! Your editing is BEAUTIFUL and your voiceover is so calming yet engaging!!! Thank you for sharing your life with us all 💕

Woah, the summer festival was so cool. I can’t believe the drummer up top being spun in a circle like that 😵‍💫 Thank you for spreading awareness on adopting, Pan is so adorable and love all the features he makes in your videos… cutest liddo wiggle butt 🐕

The Summer festival look so... sacred. It's very powerful to see how people respond to the chants and so on. Thank you for sharing! And pancake is already getting big. He is so adorable ♥

I love this so much. Thank you for sharing and bring awareness to the dog’s shelter.

Pancake! What an adorable little buddy, I'm glad he's doing so well! He's lucky to have such wonderful pet parents as you two :) Thank you for sharing the information about Heart Tokushima! I'll be passing it along to friends of mine who are also passionate about animals and no-kill shelters

I'm 22 years old, I hope at 25 years old I can do the same things you do. back to where humans should live 😄

Once again, an excellent dog.

Greetings from Germany 🙋‍♂️ many things look pretty hard, I guess keeping the house intact, renovating it and doing garden work is a lot. But It also looks so relaxing. The water you can swin in, the comfy rainy season, the good homemade food and Pancake 🙌🏻 I’m loooking forward to see more of your videos 🍀

This might just be my favourite Japan related youtube channel out there

Everything you share is lovely💜 thank you for sharing it

I love it I love your video's. The effort in the shots and editing, the narration, thank you!

I love Taziki sauce...processed squeezed cucumber, drained plain yogurt, mint, garlic and cilantro (if you like it). It's good on salad, sandwiches, meats, and veggies. The festival looked like it was fun!

Pancake and his awesome, quirky tail inspired my donation ❤️

Pancake and his curly tail thanks you greatly 😆❤️

I love your videos. They're such a fresh source of calm and happiness. You also are helping me slowly get over my fear and disgust of critters 😄

Pancake won the lottery!

It would be awesome if you guys could show us the town walkaround and the countryside walkaround at where you guys are living. Like an episode of NHK journeys around Japan.

The festival reminds me of my childhood. The highlight for me was the balloons filled with water that we would bounce back and forth on the palm of our hand via a rubber band. Thank you for sharing

good to see pancake thriving!

You may want to do a fenced garden with tent like netting. Ravens are great mimics, very intelligent...best to let them be excluded from the vegetable harvest. They will get the message to hunt elsewhere. . .and maybe get a nicer interaction with their presence. I love hearing crows caw...birds reflect alot about the land & do lively noise about it. Like a town crier.

Beautiful area you guys are living in..... plus I just love Pancake and his buddies, what warmth ☺️🤗🥰

Guys, I love your vids so much. 😊 Thank you for sharing your experiences in rural Japan. 🎏

Pancake is sooo cute! Hope you get him a harness instead of a collar, to protect his thyroid, salivary gland, and neck from accidental injury :)

That lantern festival is so cool!

cute little doggy

I really really love your video! It always help me release anxiety and sadness. This looks exactly like my dream life! I wish video could be longer 😭 Thank you so much for sharing these beautiful moment to us.

I love the Nissan cube!

Love these videos, I could imagine asmr videos from you guys, but still with you guys talking and explaining.

Dogs, Kochi countryside, summer festivals...this video really has it all. I lived in Shimanto City for a couple of years, and seeing the Yosakoi performances and the lantern festival again made me feel really natsukashii. Already looking forward to the next video!

Love the videos-and the lifestyle! It's inspiring to see you dive into the akiya way of life headfirst. Looking forward to your next upload 🇨🇦♥️

these videos are soo good ahhh they radiate off so much peace

I watch these and think about other lives I might have led! Probably too old now, but it’s great to see such a different yet familiar way to live. Thanks for making these and PS I absolutely LOVE your dog.

How long until the puppy tosses something through your beautiful paper room dividers? Edit: 8:45 Gimme that beer!

so glad my videos help diffuse some of the stress from your workweek 🥹 more relaxation coming your way 😚

I'm In awe of your cinematography. Will be waiting for next one.

It was peaceful. That's all I have to say.😌

These videos are so beautiful and heart filling. Thank you for sharing your life with us Mika. Gorgeous festival. Also Pancake has totally stole the show.

I remember all the spiders etc in our beach house in Hayama on the Miyura peninsula. We also got our fair share at our house in Ōmori, Tokyo. Each year in Hayama we had the Obon festival where we took part as kids...so much fun and wonderful memories. We lived in Japan for 14 years, 1960 to 1974, I really do miss it!

This is real life harvest moon. Also, your editing style is consistently relaxing. Kudos to you guys for doing well in Japan! Stay healthy always ❤️❤️

that's a happy dog!

I’m obsessed with these videos. So cute and calming. Love y’all’s life

The festivals look amazing. This is the kind of thing someone in a cold wet town like mine daydream about, I’m glad you showcase that it isn’t all rainbows and hard work is involved in making a living in the countryside. The bugs! And the gardening. I’m glad things are going well and wish you and your family the best ❤

pretty cute puppy

I thought you would have been more in the river for the summer months as the water is much cooler than the sea water , I love river trips when its hot out

You guys are like a good friend I catch up with once a month! I love your videos! Thanks for letting us in your country life.❤

this vlog just became my dog poodle's favorite thing to watch every night, she loves watching pancake and never seems to get tired of watching it again and again, hopefully i get to let her visit a nearby river more often soon...

Pancake is sooo cuteeeeeee.

Thanks for sharing these glimpses. Pancake is adorable 😊

Thank you so much for sharing another video of your new home. What a beautiful garden. I think your newest family member, Pancake, should guard your vegetables against those pesky ravens. But not until he’s a bit bigger, the ravens seem as big as he is. 😂 Until next time, take care, hugs to little Pancake ♥️🇨🇦

LOVE THE INTRO MUSIC : )

This is the only KZread channel worth following

Much love, thank you for these!

Nice one, sorry about the garden.

These are very well shot and edited. Always a treat!

I would love to return to Japan and Shikoku some day! There is so much to see; going around Shikoku in 2 weeks definitely wasn't enough. I don't know if I could survive the summer in Japan though; the heat and humidity scares me! When I visited in November 2022, the temperature got way too hot in the afternoons, so I can't even being there in July or August!

Thank you for another video. Comforting as always.

Bonjour. Amazing seen from 🇫🇷.

Great video as always!

I can't with Pan Chan...He's so cute. I love your videos guys.

Thank you so much forma neutering him life in country for homeless puppies is hard and sorrow.

thank you

Very awesome video, I truly miss living in Japan and your Inu Pancake is cute.

I love your videos - some of the most wholesome content on here. Thank you for sharing this part of your life with the internet!

Great vlog, love Pancake. Thank you.

Those pickles are going to be excellent! I have only been in the pickling game for a year or so, but man it's a fun experiment! Carrots, radishes, pumpkin rind... We've had very few pickling treats we didn't like!

Pancake is such a cute addition

Pancake is absolutely adorable ❤
