    Bitsii, congratulations to you and Mr. Nakamura! We don't all have to live in big busy cities and you are both an example of this. I'm soooo impressed with the calmness you exude in revitalizing abandoned buildings and land. The aesthetics of the small water feature Mr. Nakamura made is perfect. I am sure you will find many uses for the beautiful bamboo you have access to. I wish you the best.

    Congratulation Bitsii and Nakamura, while it feels a little bit sad to not get to see everything you wanted to do with the former house and the beautiful journey along the way. I'm sure we're all pretty excited to see the beautiful life you'll be working on together in the mountains.
    Thanks for sharing as always!

    This color filter has completely changed my view and feelings about your channel. This color tone is very suitable for content about Japan. I watched your akiya video a few months ago, it looked normal, I watched it mainly for information. But after just a few months, your video editing has improved a lot, this video has become like a beautiful, heartwarming video about nature and relaxation. Thank you. I've just started a new channel with my first videos, hoping I can learn a lot to perfect my skills.

    That place loos soooo idyllic. I love it!
    Also: I don't know if this is weird to suggest, but i think you could become good friends with the channel maigomika, they also moved to Shikoku and live in the countryside. So I imagine the interests align pretty well.

    Wonderful news! You are so discreet! I always felt there was a mystery how you managed to communicate with Japanese country folk who probably had quite strong accents when you spoke little Japanese yourself at the time. Now the mystery is solved in the nicest possible way :). I already read about restoring a house in Shikoku in the wonderful "Lost Japan", by Alex Kerr, another Japanophile American. Looking forward to learning about your next adventures.

    Me and my family moved this week to another country, and before that we moved a year ago. I never knew it is such a toll. I miss the villge we lived in for a year. And my heart wants nothing, but getting back and settling. Your videos always helps me to see the importance of inner compass. To see the courage to make my own plan. For now we need to settle in the new country yet again (which is also btw amazing), but I am crafting a unique life set for me and my family in my brain now.

Looks like you two have found a little slice of heaven in Shikoku there :) Thank you as well for inspiring our travels-we are a family of four who has been exploring Shikoku and the surrounding areas for a potential new home for ourselves as well. Looking forward to seeing you get established in your new place!

    If i knew how to speak Japanese, I think it would be cool to find short term rentals like your first house as a way to get immersed in the language. Hope you find someone to take care of that home too. Thanks for sharing. Look forward to seeing the property transform over time.

Also thanks to your channel I finally bought tickets for a trip to Japan for 2024, this first trip will not take me to Shikoku, but it will certainly be the destination of the next one. I'm also an architect, I work in a big city that I hope to leave to return to nature, so I look at you and dream a little hoping it can become reality sooner or later.. I wish you all the best !

    Congratulations on getting married to Mr. Nakamura, Bitsi! I've been following your journey since you first came to Japan and renovated your original house. I was contemplating visiting Japan at the time and was finally able to go last June with my daughter. Our next trip will be to other Cities and to the countryside. I especially love your focus on a more nature harmonious lifestyle. You've given me a lot to think about, and I admire your journey. While I plan on traveling when I retire, I plan on traveling for the long term as an expat, and I'm hoping to have my own epiphany on life. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us!
