Making memories from the most simplistic things like laughter, love and family that costs nothing.
「支払いはパパの仕事」この言葉、深く深く深く受け止めました！
I would love to hear more Anna and Becca speaking japanese! Currently learning and trying to practice. Your familiy is beautiful! Love from Mexico :)
素敵な家族愛に心が癒されました🍀🏠
Thanks for letting me live vicariously through you and your family! Thanks for involving me in your online family :D
Our pleasure!
The reward is the enjoyment of these wonderful videos. There's no extra reward for being first. There's no penalty either. We are all laborers in the vineyard, with the reward the same no matter when we arrive. Praise God!
素敵な家族です!
Finally Joshua got the bandages off. His arm healed very nice. I´m so glad. 😊👍
What a lovely and adorable family:) You must be the happiest parents with being surrounded by such adorable kids, also they must be the happiest kids with having wonderful parents like you guys!! Thank you so much for uploading great videos and sharing your great life with us!!
Thanks so much!
とてもとても幸せそうな家族ですねぇ🤭お金持ちでもなくても愛があればそれだけでいいですよねぇ❤️このご家族に神様の愛がたくさん注がれます様に🛐
Oh my goodness, we LOVE the bunny store here in Okinawa! My daughter asked for the rainbow wellies (rain boots) for Christmas and of course at less than 1000 yen they were under the Christmas tree!
Gotta love the bunny store :)
素敵な家族🥰
朝陽と夕焼けが見られる、素敵な家ですね。
河川敷は大好きです。
今はススキの季節かな？
ライター家のアメリカの行事もとりあげてください。感謝祭やベテランズデ―の過ごし方を見てみたいです。
パパさんママさんは若いから知らないと思いますが、昔、日本でもテレビ放映されていた、アメリカのホームドラマ”パパは何でも知っている“のリアル版ですね。
This was a long video so I saved it for Sunday, but it just flew by as if it was only 10 minutes. I really enjoy these peeks into all of your lives. Your children are wonderful and as a wife, I hope you know you are so, so lucky to have Ruth for your partner in life. Nate, you are a wonder but lovely Ruth is the glue that holds your family together--and she does it so effortlessly. Best regards to you all.
You got that right! Believe me, I know I married up!
Cool, happy family!
Thank you 🤗
サラちゃんは九九の勉強かな❔
段々難しくなってくるけど、覚えたら便利だから頑張ってね✌️
ジョシュア君よく頑張ったね👏👏
包帯も取れて良かった👍️
これからも気をつけてね🤗
ジョシュア君完治できて良かったですね!!
Nice video(again!) Me and my kids had(and still have) coffee-shops as the fun thing to do each time we had to go shopping or to some doctors appointment or bank or anything. They knew they must come on the errand with me(I was a single mom) but as soon as shopping was over we went to drink coffe/juice/soda and icecream or cake! That way I never had any problems in getting them with me to do "boring" stuff!
That is awesome! Congrats to you, doing it as a single mom is not easy, but you made it work. I remember that the grocery store close to us growing up offered one free cookie to the kids from the bakery, so we loved going there with mom!
Mt family and I love your channel! We enjoy seeing the beautiful scenery you post about Japan. We also enjoy the ci tent you share about your family life. Thank you for all the family nuggets of knowledge you share. God bless you all! 🙏
Thank you so much! God bless you too!
My family and I so enjoy sitting down together in the evening and watching your sweet family. I personally love how your kiddos...even your big girls who are getting older are still happy children who enjoy the simply important things in life. This video was especially interesting for us as we are a large family with 7 wee ones. We have often wondered about doing ministry in Japan. We're not sure Japan is ready for our MEGA fam! 😅 But you never know where God will call you. 🙌🏾
Seven is a lot! You could do it outside of the really big, compact cities though. Our good friends the John & Silvia have 5 boys and make it work, but you definitely have to work around some things. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@LIJ That's so encouraging to hear! Well where there is God's will...there's a way. 😉🙌🏾
SUCH AN AWESOME VIDEO!! I also love following your Instagram. These kids are so lucky to have such fun and loving parents ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks!! Sure hope you can visit us at the Coffee Shop when you're back in the area!
@@LIJ yes, 100%!! i will let you all know. right now seeing you wear winter jackets makes me want to wait till Spring to be back in Tokyo, haha. I am still wearing shorts in Okinawa 😅 look forward to your videos every Friday evening
One of my favorite Life In Japan episodes!
Awesome! What do you like about it?
Welcome to Japan！✋💖 Best wishes for good luck in your family Japan life🤞
8:00 なんやこれ！ちょーかわい！
お～！
二子玉の帰りはうちの近くの川沿いを通って帰ったんだな(笑)
世田谷区と狛江市の境目は道路が狭いんだよな(笑)
広いアメリカとは違って大変だろうけど良く順応して譲り合って頑張ってるね👍
多摩川流域には縄文時代の遺跡や古墳もあるくらいだから何万年も前から人々が暮らしていたらしいよ
綺麗な道だけど、すごくタイトなんだよねー。

そうなんだよね～😎
I am not sure how your channel ended up in my UA-cam feed although I am thankful that it did. We are a military family stationed near Ayase-shi, Japan. It is a blessing to know of your mission for God's will in this nation and for His people here. Love to you all through our Lord Jesus Christ
Ayase Kanagawa?! That's not too far away !
Yes that is the area. We took the train to the Akihabara area because our kids like Dragonball, Attack of the Titian's and My Hero Acadamia. My husband wanted to see the big electronics store. I am hoping for us to get to several different areas in Tokyo.
ジョシュア君!! 治療がうまくいったね 良かったね～Dady Mamyに感謝 毎回の通院 がんばったね 家族に感謝！感謝！ おめでとう
I just learn about Timekettle translator buds. It makes a good if you have a language barrier you want to have a conversation Japanese to English. I agree with you don’t need that much space. Just loving family. Really matters.
my wife and I will be traveling to japan in Abril of 2022 and would love to come to a Sunday service at the church, we are both medical missionaries in the rural mountains in the north east of Mexico, this channel has been of great encouragement to both of us, God continue to bless you , see you next year .... if japan is allowing tourist
That would be great! I sure hope it is open by then! Let us know when you'll be coming by and make sure to introduce yourself to us!
スタジオ引越してやっとお二人で大きなベッドに寝れますね。ジョシュアくんやけどなおってよかった。ライターさん家のレゴの数すごい。ライターさん一家は、冬こたつ使わないのですね。ユニクロは、いい商品がそろってます。ガストは、洋食の種類が多くていいですね。大好きです。
Nice family !
Thank you!
素敵なビデオでした！
山は危険が伴うので、気を付けてください🥺🧐
ジョシュア 君も元気に 火傷 治っで 成って良かったですね， 皆んな元気に楽しそう 🤭
いいねいいねみんな幸せ家族で楽しいですね、みんな嬉しそうですね
題名の大都会の小さな家、素敵ですね✨
大草原の小さな家をかけたのかな😊
私も子供の頃、大好きで見てました❤️
NHKで夕方にしていて家族で見ていたのを思い出します✨
毎回、素敵な物語で涙する回が多かったように思います。
私の少女の頃の心に温かいものを残してくれました🌻
今もケーブルテレビのAXN HD海外ドラマで再放送していて、再放送する度に見ています！
ジョシュア君のやけど良くなってよかったですね☺️
Great video!
We also have kids in the same ages living in Tokyo.
I hope you guys spend a wonderful days in this country!
Thank you - if you're ever in Noborito, please stop by the coffee shop. Or on a Sunday for Paz Church -we're all there!
You have made a small apartment work amazingly well, but have you considered the future? The twins are on the brink of puberty and they will both want and need more privacy. Your kids are so amazing and it is so much fun watching them in their daily lives. Think we can have another Japanese-only episode? I loved that one!
There are future developments that haven't been shown yet... ha ha! And we were just talking about a Japanese only episode again!
Good family 👍🎵😊
Good button for Joshua's injury😭❤️
I was trying to figure out which room you put the bed in when I saw the extra door right by the bed and then realized you had taken it off the hinge to get the matress in the bedroom. FInally made sense!!
Yes- it's very nice for moving big things around - just take off the door! Even I can handle it :)
So glad Joshua has healed so well and quickly. Praise the lord.
Sarah and Joshua is so cute.
Arigato.
You said “skadooosh”. Nice :)
ジョシュアくん、治ってよかったですね。ガストでライターとカタカナで書いた字、可愛すぎです。
You’re so bubbly daddy🤩I like your energy😊
I like your energy!
Yes, I am the firts one to comment ! You are an inspiration to me ! Keep it up !
Way to go! Thank you!
Best online family ever
Awww! Thanks for being a part of it!
Yes! Uniqlo and H&M are my go-to stores as well. There's tons of Uniqlo establishments where I'm from in LA ;)
Parents realize that children can't spend too much time in their families when they grow up. When children become independent and have their own families, they have fewer opportunities to get together with their families. I think it's great for all families to guide the importance of families through the Paz Church, the Bible, and your You Tube channel.
Thanks so much! I look forward to seeing you there sometime soon I hope!
Love uni qlo , we have a few of them in Australia now
Hi everyone, I did like that new bed it was so colourful. And it was so funny to see the kids in that big box:} and you all cope so well in that small house. Everyone seems to get on well, without any issues. As for the shops i think you should of bought Josh that glove:}. You very wise in finding out the best place to shop, for all the family. As wonderful Japan looks its not the cheapest place to live, but some of the streets looked so nice. It would be wonderful to see a video sharing some of that service. Anyway i could go on for ever:} have a great weekend and keep warm kind regards from Carl.
Kids and boxes go together, don't they? The tight little streets are very interesting indeed! Thanks for the comments!
@@LIJ your welcome
I miss Japan after six years when I last was there because of the unique rail transportation system getting around the country without renting a car. I have never been to other regions of Japan outside of Osaka to Tokyo, but that is what I need to do when I go back once the Japanese government starts making the borders available without anyone being in quarantine.
The problems I can encounter living in Japan are the expense of operating cars, the narrow and one way streets, and the country not getting a lot of extensive daylight. I had my translators when I was there, and I was able to learn some Japanese, but I only learned how to read the alphabet part of how to pronounce words and not the language characters nor drawing them. I know how life feels like living in Japan where people mostly own kei cars, and that is something I will never get used to because that would make me feel uncomfortable and unsafe.
Japan has always been my favorite vacation destination for the environment where cigarette smoking is more controlled than other places I have been to in the United States and abroad. But the biggest nightmare I experienced in Japan was riding on the shinkansen from Kyoto to Atami where people smoke on the cars without any ventilation and I had to hold my breath for an hour. After my tour group arrived at the Atami station, I came down with a severe headache and almost threw up.
I found it easier to find tall, thin pants in Japan for my super tall, super skinny kids. Shoes never seem to go past size 7 adult though so it’s kind of a trade off, lol.
YOU GUYS ARE MAKING ME MISS WENDY'S!!! It's been a decade since I had my hands on Wendy's frostie. Where was this in Japan? I miss 'em. 😢 😕 🥺
There's Wendy's all over in the Tokyo area. This was at Northport Mall in Yokohama.
@@LIJ Thank you! I'm glad that you all are doing well. Can't wait for the next video you all are going to upload here on Life in Japan!
i love that the twins don't wear the exact same thing all the time. that's one thing i can't stand about some twin parents is how often they dress them in the same outfit, as if just because they came out together means they're one baby or one personality. i know the difference between young ones and your girls is that anna and becca are old enough to dress themselves, but a lot of twin parents still make them wear the same thing, even beyond the age of being able to do it themselves
I’m so glad that mama-chan has her (and your) own bed room! To live big in a small house, it would be a option to adopt minimalism (not extream one though). I watched a lot of minimalists’ vlogs and deculutter literally and visually. It worked ; )
Our 4 year old has enjoyed the Bible app you all suggested. I was curious what model keyboard you all have? The stand seems more substantial than the scissor stands I see. Or would you all suggest starting a child on a melodica since you all have shown those in your videos as well. Thanks for sharing your lives with us! Love seeing how you are spreading His Word!
Thanks! It's a Korg keyboard that may only be available in Japan. I tried to get one for my mom but they don't sell it in the States! (I assume you're writing from the States?)
@@LIJ yes, from the states. Thanks for the info :) I’ll see if I can find a comparable set up
I'm glad Josh is all better now! Some of the roads in Japan look like sidewalks! Have you ever mistaken a road for a sidewalk, or a sidewalk for a road?
We have gone down some roads that, even though they said they were roads, we had to back out because we couldn't make it! Yes- you have to be careful!
お姉ちゃんたち、身長が高くなりましたね😊 サラちゃんの、✊✌️✋あいこでしょが、自然と出てきたんでしょうね😊
ちょっと思ったんですが、御家族は日本で長く生活してて花粉症には未だ成ってないのでしょうか？
私の外国人の友人達は長年日本で生活して花粉症に成った人間もいます。
幸いなことに私たちは花粉症ではありませんが、子供たちの中には埃や花粉のアレルギーを持っている者もいます。
What’s up Broski 🦋
I wish I was there. Wouldn’t mind joining in on paz church too. Haven’t really visited a sunday church service since 2013. Just ended up that way.
I like your family dynamic almost makes me wish to be a child again and relive those times.
I think if I have to believe my mother to just be a parent? (To relive some good childhood times from an other perspective I mean). I wouldn’t mind but my house is very small. I mean I know yours is a bit tight too but it’s still twice as big (if not more). You somehow still have it worked out that everyone has a bit of a personal corner and room for interests which is important. This house is too small to make that work. Also no decent storage to exchange seasonal things. So I have summer / winter items laying around the livingroom year round because I can’t store it anywhere. No room for a washingmachine (do that at my parents house), no freezer. So while it is better than nothing, and works out for me on my own, I’d rather not raise a family in this tight space, small and cosy is fine, but only if the layout can still make things work (which isn’t really the case here sadly).
Do you live here in Japan? You'd be super welcome to visit. (even if you don't, we'd be happy for you to join online) We have some friends that have a REALLY tiny space (like one small room and that's it). A determination to make it work really helps. But more important than how much space you have is what is inside that space. Is it full of love and peace, or not? It's just like us as people - it's not what's on the outside that ultimately matters, but what's on the inside that really counts.
Are Japanese families typically on the smaller size? Another wonderful video!
The ones that live in large urban areas tend to be. We have some Japanese friends that have 3 kids, but most stop at 1 or at most 2.

無理しないでくださいね！あくまで！楽しく！記憶＆記念になるようなコンサートを期待しています！
毎年！お願いします！成長の記録にしたいです！
Do Anna and Becca use Japanese when talking together? So fluently.
I assume a little of time is being immerse at school and friends and being in Japan.
Quite a bit of their lives is spent talking in Japanese!
I’m going to yours good. so much right. horry sit!
Does it get chaotic sometimes living in a Tokyo house with a big family?
It's definitely adjustment for a foreigner used to living with much more space, but you do get used to it.
Nothing better than a giant box!!
Ha ha, you know it!
I have a question do you guys watch other UA-camrs from Japan?
Not so much. We did like Only in Japan back when John Daub was the host.
It'd be wiser to ask Kon-Mari (Kondo Marie) to utilize small house wide. Your daughters are better at writing reservation in the sheet than you or Ruth, right? Btw, did Joshua graduate Okosama-lunch? Or hadn't he taken to it?
Qual o nome de igreja ?
Paz Church! paz.church/japan/
I miss living in Japan where I was born. I live in a city in Ohio now, and cost of living here in the States has been increasing rapidly. Dining out as family is now luxury with higher menu prices and tipping. You can’t eat at Denny’s here for the same price as Gusto. Fast food chains keep the prices but I can tell the size of a burger patty got a bit smaller.😅
I noticed that too when we visited the states (and even Ohio) this last summer! Eating out is expensive in the US!
I saw a uniqlo-store in Germany once but people said they would be extremly more expensive than if you would go there in Japan
Yes. Even in other countries it is so much more expensive than the Japan branches. As much as 3x more expensive even in countries near Japan.
Wow! It's good to shop at Uniqlo in Japan then 😂
🇵🇭🇯🇵🇵🇭🇯🇵🇵🇭🇯🇵❤️❤️❤️

Lord of the ring season 2 next week!!
Season 1 hasn't even started yet!
I thought you travelled to Kurobe Gorge with your friends and visited elven realm at season 1. May I have temporary amnesia or something?
子供達が大きくなつたらもつと狭くなるね。
Do you have twins?
The older two are twins indeed.

Ah- thanks for your request! I don't even know how we would go about doing that!
