Spring in the Japanese countryside: Dog’s 1st birthday, new hot water, & weeding
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 чер 2024
- To celebrate Pancake’s spring birthday, I wanted to highlight Heart Tokushima, the shelter where we adopted him. Visit www.heart-tokushima.com/donat... to support their efforts in rescuing and rehoming cats and dogs on Shikoku, and we will all send virtual hugs and kisses (and slobbers from Pancake)!

It’s Pancake’s world and we are all living in it
Pancake eating a pancake is max pancake. More Pancake.
sounds like cannibalism
The Pancakest
that sitcom style intro really establish pancake is star of the show.
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.
Good Luck on Your Hunt for a new Home!
Thank you for sharing.
This was beautiful, thank you! Your videos are so relaxing and well made :) Happy birthday Pancake!!!
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
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.
こんばんは🤗
パンケーキくん
お誕生日おめでとう🥞
日々お2人の生活が楽しそうで❤
私まで楽しくなります👍
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!
Good luck yurt hunting! 😆
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
Pancake is growing ; nice treat for his birthday; your country home is progressing nicely, and applaud you. both for all your efforts!
Happy birthday to Pancake. 🐕🥞
Congratulations on the new gas powered water heating.
I love her attitude towards the hard things in life. We should all be so upbeat!
Happy birthday to your precious Pancake! 🎉🎂🎈❤️🦴
mild rain and clouds Ahhhhhhh.
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!
@@maigomika Sharing snippets of what you learn is perfectly fine. Thanks!
Really love following your journey. Hurray for hot water! And Happy Birthday Pancake!🎉♥️
Pancake is so big now 🥹
PANCAKE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ❤🦮💐🎂🍰🧁🥧
Happy Birthday Pancake 🎉
Happy birthday pancake!!! 🎉🎉🎉
I can't believe how long it's been already :) And I'm still looking forward to every upload
Always lovely to hear from you both; thank you, as always, for sharing.
Happy birthday Pancake! 🎉
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.
I wish to see more of your alls diet! Cooking videos are my favorite
so great atmosphere there .. 🩷
and happy birthday Pancake
greetings from 🇮🇩 Indonesia
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful video. I loved seeing Pancake.
I wish you the best of luck with finding a new place.
Love getting glimpses of Japanese country life. Thanks for the video and happy birthday to Pancake 🥞 🎉❤
Our pleasure!
Happy birthday Pancake!!
Cette recherche de maison est si virtuellement amusante merci de nous faire participer 🏚️😉
I ♥your videos. Best of luck in finding the right Akiya for the 3 of you,
Enjoy seeing more of the Shikoku countryside. We will be visiting from Aotearoa New Zealand in December. Traveling by train to Matsuyama to visit my son's host family
Luv your channel guys. Fellow Canadian here.. hoping to one day make the move to Japan as well. Thanks for sharing your life there!
Happy Birthday Pancake! I love seeing your flowers and gardening, and look forward to future videos as everything grows and blooms.
Your lifestyle is fascinating to our North American eyes. ❤
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PANCAKE !!!! ❤😊
The lush green vegetation, misty mountain views, and uguisu background music all sent me straight back to spring in Japan ✨
Your videos are such a vibe, they are literally perfect! Much love from Germany
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! 😁
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! 🌸🌿
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.
I loved the koinobori feature. One of my favorite scenes in spring!
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! :)
Good advice.
This is very true
となりのパンケーキ🐕
My Neighbor Pancake
the dog has grown a bit
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!
It's always a competition to see which one keeps us busier. 😅
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! Omg I can’t wait to see your garden in full bloom
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🤗
Your flowers look nice! Does Pancake have any friends nearby? It would be fun to see him go to a dog park to play
Your contents are just so calming.. Hope you find your own Akiya soon :)
Love watching your videos, the kind of life I want to switch to )
Greetings from Redondo Beach 🇺🇸🇺🇸Nice video🌷
I want to see a tour of the new akiya houses you are visiting, thanks :)
Happy birthday to Pan-chan!
Re my personal interests, they are gardening, cooking and Japanese crafts.
What flowers have you planted?
I remember lavender, azaleas and rhododendron, I think.
Gardens, either for flowers or veggies, are a source of joy.
And I hope you find the dream house you are looking for.
Thank you for sharing your interests! Glad you like Japanese crafts, because I'm hoping to include more of it in upcoming videos. 🥰 As for flowers, I planted more azaleas (a different variety from the first with smaller flowers), African daisies, burgundy-red garden cosmos, American mock vervain, beeblossom (and one chrysanthemum stem given to us by our neighbour!)
The editing in this one is great! I love hearing about you guys and your story
Glad you enjoyed it! 🥰
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 think your videos are perfect.
beautiful place
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
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.
Thank you for sharing your lives and adventures. Japan is somewhere I have wanted to visit! I enjoy seeing the country side.
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
watching you makes me feels like I am right there and experiencing it with my own eyes.
pankeeeeeeeee happy birthdayyy güzel çoçıuk.
Pancake eating a pancake🤣🤣
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
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 to Pancake! I love the style of your videos. So calm and relaxing. Will you be able to take your new hot water system to your new home? Maybe I missed it on an earlier video but why can't you have or don't you want the place you are in now?
We would like to take it with us if we can! As for our house, the landlords would like to keep it in their family, and it's a little small for us anyways. We wish we could take the view with us though, but we will try and match it in our next place!
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 love these videos so much
Good luck house hunting ☺
Happy birthday, Pancake! 😘
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!
Nice video as always. Loved the nighttime thunderstorm / rain. Thanks for sharing
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!
Thank you for your wonderful content / channel. I am currently looking for an Akiya to as well.
Pancake is really loving that pancake
Have a good one Pancake xox
Simple Life
Really enjoy your videos
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.
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.
We love Pancake! ❤❤❤
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
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 really appreciate you channel! Just keep doing what you’re doing - daily life makes the best topic.
Your videos always bring me so much peace. ❤
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. ☺️
How do you guys stay so energetic?
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 so soothing, calm Zen I love to put one on when I take my afternoon nap
Happy Belated Birthday Pancake !
Lovely video!
🥳❤️👍🏿
