While I love the looking for a new place, I feel quite sad to think of you leaving this lovely little hood and your friendly neighbours! It's so oen and such a beautiful view from your current place. But I am sure there are just as wonderful ones to be found.
I love this series and I really hope that you're able to find a good home. I get really stunned by the breathtaking beauty of the countryside and it makes me wish that I could make the same leap that you did, but I understand that it's not an easy path nor for everyone. But the absolute awe-inspiring beauty is so humbling.
I recently found your channel.I am from India. The Japanese coutryside is so serene and beautiful!The countryside in my land is also breathtakingly beautiful.Especially in monsoons!Your videos are very soothing!Thank you for sharing!🙏🙏
I'm amazed at how the Japanese can just leave home with everything in it as it was when it was occupied. I realize it is probably a deceased estate but a little clean up would go along way. Only in Japan. I wish I was looking for an Akiya. If you ever need a good carpenter hit me up. PS we are heading into winter here in Australia.
The eclectic aspect of your videos is interesting and enjoyable! Happy birthday, Pancake. 🎉 It was nice to see the start of the rice growing season. Perhaps you could share more about the agricultural aspects of rice farming throughout the season.
It's funny you ask, because I've just recently started getting into rice farming with some of the neighbours. I won't be able to offer a full picture, but I can at least share a snippet from what I experience!
Seeing the scenery just brought back memories of my journey as henrô in Shikoku. Even the millepede next to the mattress,😂. But on that time, I just screamed like crazy when the millepede came out between the tatami. Many abandoned house in Koichi during my trip in 2016. Thank you for sharing and good luck!
quick tip, i recommend you get a regular Y-shape Harness for Pancake instead of a norwegian style harness! the strap going across the chest can limit the shoulder movement of the dog and many vets and people who know more about dogs body structure than me 😂 recommend people avoid these kind of harnesses and especially in younger dogs it can prevent proper development in the shoulderjoints/range of movement! :)
Happy Birthday Pancake! While I almost always eat pancakes on Sunday, this weekend they are in your honor. And I've been doing the same this Spring, house hunting! It's definitely a fun opportunity to explore nearby neighborhoods and find hidden gems. Right now we're looking at a place that comes with a yurt!
Thank you for sharing your adventure in Japan. Your views of the countryside are breathtaking and your home life is fascinating. Keep this beautiful story coming. I enjoy as much of it as you have time to share
I don't think we've ever understood why you can't buy the house you're living in now? You've done so much work, it's got a great view and you've been accepted into the community.
The owners want to keep the house in their family. Plus, it's a bit too small for us. However, we will likely continue to maintain it, at minimum, for the sake of maintaining our connection with our neighbors. ☺️
Happy birthday pancake I wonder what the strawberries are planted in to make them so sweet? Thanks for sharing your life with us blessings from North Texas ❤
Happy birthday Pancake!! As they say never work with children or animals, they take over. But I do love to watch Pancakes doggy ways. Best Wishes, Bob.
Thank you for the video. Happy Birthday to Pancake🐕🎉🎈🎁🎀That butterbur is that same as rabarber? If it that was a first time to me that you can cook and eat it that way. I have lots of rabarber so I have to try it🤗
I'm a new subscriber! (^^,) I just stumbled upon your video when I started watching abandoned houses in Japan videos. I have always been fascinated with Japanese culture, especially its way of life. Good luck with all of your plans this year. Oh, and happy birthday, Pancake!
Nice and peaceful. :) We live in New Zealand, where there are many varieties of native birds. I'm curious to know more about the bird life surrounding your home.
PALOMA!!! What an upgrade! That's what I use in my off-grid house in Hawai'i. It's mounted outside right next to my shower on the back side of my house which is super handy if the water gets too hot and needs a quick adjustment. The flowers out front look beautiful! 🌸🌿
I love that Pancake and my pup (Hanako) are about the same age! She just turned one on May 9th. I really love watching your videos and seeing a part of the small Japanese country side. It seems so peaceful! Good luck on your hunt for a new akiya! Just remember, even if you love the house, you have to love the location. Houses can be changed, but the location can't be changed.
Happy birthday, Pancake! Seeing all those lovely places and the lush greenery makes me wanna go on a trip, I'm sure it's enjoyable to travel like this even though you have yet to find a place that would be it for you. Congrats on the new hot water system! 😁
My daughter lived in Japan for 12 years (Kinoshita circus) I loved visiting. I think Japanese culture is fascinating and beautiful showing respect to each other and nature
I've read multiple times ''weeding'' as wedding and thought they were getting married but were still putting pancake's 1st birthday first in the title and thought that was very commendable and valid until the end of the video lol
I'm sure you've guys have already seen Tokyo Llama's akiya journey and renovation here on UA-cam, but if not, its definitely worth checking out for some insight on the work they put in
Happy to see Pancake's first birthday celebration! Also that you got the hot water heater. Just thought, since your house is rented. Are you taking it when you buy your permanent home?
With all the “weeding” you are doing….consider making a compost pile. Then you can stop buying bags of dirt from the store. This Spring we are remodeling our kitchen in South Carolina and planning our annual trip to Maine for our summer vacation. We go camping. It would be great to see all of you go camping in a beautiful spot in Japan. Dogs were meant to go camping…Pancake will love it.
We are enjoying watching your adventures in Japan. I loved the outing with the neighbors! I barely see my neighbors here in Denver. What are you looking for in your new home?
What a lovely place you all have there, what is the name of the river that flows by? Look so clean and must be nice to go for a swim? Thank you and god bless
I like Pancake. For a young dog he appears to be pretty settled. I wish I was younger and I think I might try a move like you two. I hope things continue well for you three
Hello, Mika. Great video, as always, and happy pancake birthday. I'm curious about the river near your house. Is it possible to fish in this river? Maybe we'll see Jesse showing off his river fishing skills in upcoming videos.
I'd stay where you are and keep fixing it up. It's effectively yours and practically free, with a nice view and some land. Magnificent retaining wall also.
It's crazy to think I've been watching your channel for over a year now! I started watching just before you guys adopted Pancake! I love seeing this side of Japan that you don't really get to see~ It's like a Ghibli film but in real life! I would love to see a video of you guys shopping in your town, just to see what its like but honestly, I love all your content!
I guess I must have missed the episode where you announced that you are looking for a new home. You’ve done so much to rejuvenate your current home. Interesting that there is an akiya bank.
Hello from Canada! 🇨🇦. I really enjoy following along on your adventures to find an akyia (?) - and of course I love the footage of Pancake 😀. Happy birthday to your sweet pup!
I mentioned in a recent comment how Pancake keeps you both busy! Let's add weeds to the list! 😄 Happy Birthday Pancake! Much love health and happiness to you all all the way from New Jersey, USA! Love your adventures!
Happy Birthday Pancake 🎉❤ Thank you for another beautiful vidio so relaxing and enjoyable can't wait for the next one. Good luck with the house hunting 😃 xx
Pancake eating a pancake is max pancake. More Pancake.
sounds like cannibalism
The Pancakest
It’s Pancake’s world and we are all living in it
that sitcom style intro really establish pancake is star of the show.

This channel is such a delight. Happy Birthday to Pancake!
My fave reason to tune in is for the quiet nature sounds & watching the progress of daily life there

@@maigomika Sharing snippets of what you learn is perfectly fine. Thanks!
I love this blogger she speak clear english very nice voice
I love her attitude towards the hard things in life. We should all be so upbeat!
Your environment is Beautiful!

Good Luck on Your Hunt for a new Home!
Thank you for sharing.
mild rain and clouds Ahhhhhhh.
Happy birthday to Pancake. 🐕🥞
Congratulations on the new gas powered water heating.
quick tip, i recommend you get a regular Y-shape Harness for Pancake instead of a norwegian style harness!

Good advice.
This is very true

Your lifestyle is fascinating to our North American eyes. ❤
PANCAKE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ❤🦮💐🎂🍰🧁🥧

Really love following your journey. Hurray for hot water! And Happy Birthday Pancake!🎉♥️
Cette recherche de maison est si virtuellement amusante merci de nous faire participer 🏚️😉
I want to see a tour of the new akiya houses you are visiting, thanks :)

Happy birthday pancake I wonder what the strawberries are planted in to make them so sweet? Thanks for sharing your life with us blessings from North Texas ❤
Not sure, but I assume the attention to care and detail (and the greenhouse setting) had something to do with it!
I wish to see more of your alls diet! Cooking videos are my favorite
I can't believe how long it's been already :) And I'm still looking forward to every upload
Simple Life
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful video. I loved seeing Pancake.
I wish you the best of luck with finding a new place.
wild forage vidoes and cooking them different style would be noice
I gotta work on my foraging skills first 🫣
Happy birthday Pancake!! As they say never work with children or animals, they take over. But I do love to watch Pancakes doggy ways. Best Wishes, Bob.
Thank you for the video. Happy Birthday to Pancake🐕🎉🎈🎁🎀That butterbur is that same as rabarber? If it that was a first time to me that you can cook and eat it that way. I have lots of rabarber so I have to try it🤗
I liked the juxtaposition of the whole family digging at 8:54 and Pancake joining in 7 seconds later. Peak videography!
Ha! He's our good little helper 😆
i love the style of editing and cinematics
I'm a new subscriber! (^^,) I just stumbled upon your video when I started watching abandoned houses in Japan videos. I have always been fascinated with Japanese culture, especially its way of life. Good luck with all of your plans this year. Oh, and happy birthday, Pancake!
Happy Birthday Pancake! I love seeing your flowers and gardening, and look forward to future videos as everything grows and blooms.
Nice and peaceful. :) We live in New Zealand, where there are many varieties of native birds. I'm curious to know more about the bird life surrounding your home.
The lush green vegetation, misty mountain views, and uguisu background music all sent me straight back to spring in Japan ✨
Good luck house hunting ☺
Happy birthday Pancake! Omg I can’t wait to see your garden in full bloom
PALOMA!!! What an upgrade! That's what I use in my off-grid house in Hawai'i. It's mounted outside right next to my shower on the back side of my house which is super handy if the water gets too hot and needs a quick adjustment. The flowers out front look beautiful! 🌸🌿

I loved the koinobori feature. One of my favorite scenes in spring!
Happy birthday, Pancake!

Good luck with the Akiya hunt. We found ours in Yamaguchi. We’ve been to Shikoku multiple times for the 88 temple pilgrimage (by car) 😂 beautiful area
pankeeeeeeeee happy birthdayyy güzel çoçıuk.
watching you makes me feels like I am right there and experiencing it with my own eyes.
I've read multiple times ''weeding'' as wedding and thought they were getting married but were still putting pancake's 1st birthday first in the title and thought that was very commendable and valid until the end of the video lol
BWAHA I seriously laughed out loud at reading this 🤣
I'm sure you've guys have already seen Tokyo Llama's akiya journey and renovation here on UA-cam, but if not, its definitely worth checking out for some insight on the work they put in
Pancake is really loving that pancake
Happy to see Pancake's first birthday celebration!
Also that you got the hot water heater. Just thought, since your house is rented. Are you taking it when you buy your permanent home?
If we can!
Thank you for your wonderful content / channel. I am currently looking for an Akiya to as well.
We love Pancake! ❤❤❤

We are enjoying watching your adventures in Japan. I loved the outing with the neighbors! I barely see my neighbors here in Denver. What are you looking for in your new home?
Thanks for watching from Denver! We are looking for a bit more space, something that isn't situated against a road, and a view. 🙌
How do you guys stay so energetic?
What a lovely place you all have there, what is the name of the river that flows by? Look so clean and must be nice to go for a swim? Thank you and god bless
Thank you for sharing your lives and adventures. Japan is somewhere I have wanted to visit! I enjoy seeing the country side.
Happy birthday Pancake! I also enjoy making special birthday foods for my dog.
Happy birthday Pan-kun
I like Pancake. For a young dog he appears to be pretty settled. I wish I was younger and I think I might try a move like you two. I hope things continue well for you three
Happy birthday pancake!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Happy Belated Birthday Pancake !
So good, as a Canadian, to dream of escaping to Japan to live this life. Such a cute couple and happy little puppy. But, are there no cats there?
No cats because I am allergic, but my dream is to eventually get one once we have a bit more space for all of us 🤞
Hello, Mika. Great video, as always, and happy pancake birthday. I'm curious about the river near your house. Is it possible to fish in this river? Maybe we'll see Jesse showing off his river fishing skills in upcoming videos.
Lots of people come fishing here! Jesse doesn't fish, but maybe I can capture some of the fly fishers that come here. 😃
I'd stay where you are and keep fixing it up. It's effectively yours and practically free, with a nice view and some land. Magnificent retaining wall also.
Nice video as always. Loved the nighttime thunderstorm / rain. Thanks for sharing
Love getting glimpses of Japanese country life. Thanks for the video and happy birthday to Pancake 🥞 🎉❤
Our pleasure!
Your videos always bring me so much peace. ❤
This series is so wonderful, I look forward to it every upload. I wish you guys luck in finding a home! What a beautiful country Japan is.
🥳❤️👍🏿
Pancake is so big now 🥹
Your videos are so soothing, calm Zen I love to put one on when I take my afternoon nap
Happy birthday pancake 🎉🎊🎉
It's crazy to think I've been watching your channel for over a year now! I started watching just before you guys adopted Pancake!
I love seeing this side of Japan that you don't really get to see~ It's like a Ghibli film but in real life!
I would love to see a video of you guys shopping in your town, just to see what its like but honestly, I love all your content!
AND MANY MOREEEE!!!! 🎉🎉🎉
I ♥your videos. Best of luck in finding the right Akiya for the 3 of you,
I really appreciate you channel! Just keep doing what you’re doing - daily life makes the best topic.
Love your family and lifestyle. Makes me want to find a partner, a dog, and an akira home to in rural Japan! Thanks, so much for sharing.
Your videos are such a vibe, they are literally perfect! Much love from Germany
I guess I must have missed the episode where you announced that you are looking for a new home. You’ve done so much to rejuvenate your current home. Interesting that there is an akiya bank.
god that is such beautiful scenery
so great atmosphere there .. 🩷
and happy birthday Pancake
greetings from 🇮🇩 Indonesia
I think your videos are perfect.
