What beautiful ocean scenery, nice and clean campsite and friendly fellow campers! Millie looked like she enjoyed it, too. Thanks for sharing your trip!

Do you have to have permanent residence status to live there? Are complete foreigners able to purchase property there or you need to have certain status like expat or work visa?

No More Salt

Your food looks really healthy. Actually, I was wondering in how far you eating habits have changed since moving to Japan and if you can feel any differences? After all, Japanese people are supposed to be so healthy and I think they live longer than Westerners. On the other hand I often ask myself, you if walk less if you have a smaller house and no garden? Or is the same because you can walk to the next bakery, etc.?

The Wondrous Camping Adventures of Chani & Millie ❤

My Japanese wife told me that curry rice is a classic camping food. I would think that yakisoba would also be a great choice. Look at how clean and well-appointed this campsite is; why we can’t have such nice things here in the USA!?

What a pretty campsite, and well-run too! And Millie is looking particularly radiant in this video. She's such a gorgeous girl.

Nice and simple. Looks like Millie enjoyed the little adventure too. And nice work, I usually need a little down time after returning from my trips to get my work brain powering up again 😂

👍

One of the sides i like for camping is to have previously baked potstoes. I make sure they are chilled. Once camping i can slice them up and cook on a pan with oil and reasonings, maybe some chopped onion. Makes a yummy side for dinner or breakfast. I have tried to use freshly cooked/baked/boiled potatoes and it didn't work. They were mushy and hard to cook. I like the kittle brown bits on the outside of the potato. My husband thinks I am a miracle worker when i whip up meals like that. We might have a steak and those potatoes and a veg. I have made small pizza's in a pan over heat at the camp site and it was pretty easy. I have cooked meat ahead in BBQ sauce and then heat up at the camp and place on rolls for a sandwich. I live in the US, so we do have burgers and hot dogs too, but that kind of gets old sometimes. I have even cooked pasta and heated up pre-made meat sauce on top, which was pretty easy and tasty too. 😋 with your set up and limited space i would pre cook as much as possible, then have only one main thing that needs cooked when you get there. It still tastes and feels like a complete meal but easier on you.

Wow, what a great camp site.....and fun video. Thanks for sharing!

It looks like y’all had a wonderful time!❤ I enjoy camping in Texas when the weather is NOT hot. So that’s late fall or winter, lol!😂 I also enjoyed the longer video😊

AUS$ 20.000. Can’t even buy you a basic kitchen or good second car in Australia.

id love to colab with you. please wait until i get 10k subs. if you dont mind, may i ask where do you live in? I'm in Osaka btw. nice to meet you. I'm Yamesi. been 5 years in Syd. and just moved here about 2 months

Japanese camp sites are 'next level' clean and organised! Loved seeing Millie's reactions to it all also. Thanks for sharing.

Cool..

Hi Chani, nice to see you're enjoying the Japanese Camping life, was the scary bit when you walked in amongst the Halloween ghosts display...hahaha being an Aussie, I thought you'd be a bit more harder to scare than that hahahaha!!

Millie is so cute! What a lucky little camper ❤

We like to take potatoes when we are camping. If we have open fire, we do foil wrapped and throw them straight in the coals. Boiled or pre-fried for skillet make for a super easy filling meal. And always hot water and cocoa and soup packets! Easy cleanup!

Looks like fun. Millie did great. Wish you could get your 3 rd workbook lesson published.

Wow that’s a nice fancy Onsen, I definitely need to go next time!

Why don’t you use transit card like Suica or Pasmo to pay? I believe there are restrictions on using Wise to withdraw, sometimes they may charge fee too.

When we go camping we always make paella! It can be chicken or seafood or even just veggies. And we use our camping gas.

👍

Chani, how you sitting in that camping chair and eating crack me up. You look like lost a bit..❤PS: we used to camping but we actually ate outside most of the part. Sometimes grill meat, fish and veggies at the site .

This makes me so happy to see you and Millie enjoying camping together its so wholesome! Consider getting a little pet carrier box for Millie for the drive, you can put the box in the foot area or buckle it down with seatbelts, sort of like a child car seat (if you had to suddenly brake this would keep Millie safe, bless this little cute fur ball) Thank you for this wholesome video

This was great. There's no decent infrastructure like this where I live, no accessories for cars like you've been able to buy. So a little bit envious! When I camp my meals are mostly tea, sandwiches, muesli and yoghurt. I don't take a stove for cooking, but for heating water for tea. Much respect for how you have taken the long view with Millie and gotten her gradually used to all the elements of this, so you can take her wherever you go. Kudos to you.

Millie is the official glamping cat of Japan. It sure beats camping in Australia. 👍🏽

Pancakes!

I think some sheer curtains around your awning would give you and Millie some privacy from your neighbours.

You did it. How wonderful. So happy for you. I used to camp alot here in the UK and it could get quite chilly so I'd cook lots of one pot meals like chilli, stew, risotto and pasta. In summer it would be bbq and leftovers for breakfast mixed into egg similar to your omelette. Best wishes Helen

Thank you for the video. Your journey to living in Japan is inspiring. I'm sorry you get people making stupid and ignorant comments towards you. Needing help has nothing to do with being a woman. We all need help. Keep up the great work!

Hi Chani, I really enjoyed this video. I love all the great camping gear you have, especially those solar panels. Glad Millie settled into camping as well. I love Halloween so I enjoyed your night time walk even though it was spooky.

I like to have steak and scrambled eggs for breakfast on Day 1 of camping. It’s a tradition for me and not something I have at home. It feels decadent. Thanks for taking us along!

Oh bless her sweet heart...lil Millie <3 what a gorgeous view ! and what civilised camping my gosh, flushing bidets and clean showers !! You did amazing :)

For short camping trips- pre cooked meals or left overs that just need heating up makes life easier. It’s only one container and saves on space for all the ingredients. Casseroles, pasta. Even steak and veg pre cooked is easy to heat up.

Your set is amazing , the camp group is well appointed.

You and kitty both did great! Glad everything turned out ok.

I enjoyed watching your camping trip with Millie. She looked like a seasoned camper😂. You have some great gear for camping, not too much but enough to be comfortable. Can't wait for your next adventure with Millie. Desley🇦🇺

This video was a pleasure to watch, thanks for sharing your camping trip 😊

Awesome camping site, Millie looked like she was enjoying it, your car does really well for camping. An extendable and retractable lead would be good for Millie it would give her some freedom and they have a good handle on them. Looking forward to your long camping trip

I'm just curious - or nosy. Have you visited your host family from years ago? Did you keep in touch with them? I was a 'mother's helper' in the Netherlands 45 years ago. Tried to get in touch with the family recently but no luck. It would have been nice to learn about them - kids whose diapers i changed might have their own grandkids by now!

The aluminum backing you put around your cooktop when you fry would be great to take camping to block the wind on your little stove.

What a lovely camping trip with Millie! I'm sorry to see the scary decor. Its distressing to me that people want to be entertained by scary stuff. But that aside, wow that campground is great! I'm glad it went so well for you both. I have camped alone (older woman) twice and there are just a couple of places I'd do that. Hoping my brother and sister in law will go to Japan with me next year. Otherwise I'll be there on my own! When my husband was alive we camped pretty rough. One pot meals like chicken and dumplings: can of chicken, dry chicken bullion in water, can of mixed veg, and a biscuit (USA) mix just add water to make dumplings. Boxed macaroni and cheese mix or ramen noodle, again with a can of veg and can of meat thrown in.

That was great fun. I love Millie too. She has such a sweet face that I love looking at her. I keep the food simple when I camp and don't cook a lot, but a good soup or a simple pasta dish with sliced cherry tomatoes, fresh parmigiana shreds, and a bit of basil is refreshing when the weather is hot.

Reminds me of getting my cats into Japan and back to Australia. It was easy to get them into Japan from Australia. I picked them up from the airport and could take them straight home. However getting them back to Australia cost me more money and 30 days in quarantine.

A nice easy & hearty breakfast is to bring some instant oatmeal packets - just add boiling water and done! I am a fan of grits (a Southern USA corn porridge) so I bring packets of instant grits along with real bacon bits, shredded cheese & butter to add to the grits. So delicious on a chilly morning and only a bowl to clean afterwards. I use a Jet-Boil to boil water for coffee - so ramen soups and mashed potatoes are a couple of "just add hot water" meal ideas. Add some canned tuna or chicken to the mashed potatoes, along with some shredded cheese and maybe a little sour cream - since you have a fridge that can keep that cool. I loved the dramatic "scary" shots of Millie jumping at the windows after the freaky Halloween walk. Is it really only the end of summer? If so, they jumped ahead a couple of months to set up those decorations!

Looked great. Could you swim there or not much shore?

Isla (my ragdoll) & I watched you & Milly camping, together. Milly is so good on a harness. Isla is not. Did she adapt immediately? I’m now actually considering taking Isla camping with me! Little steps. Thanks again for your bravery & inspiration. I grew up camping (1 of 8 kids), love it, but haven’t had the courage to go on my own now my boys & fully grown men. Your menu is great. I look forward to more uploads. Rebecca in Sydney 🙏🏼😁🤩🔥🌸🐨

Such a beautiful spot!
