I'm in love with the life you've created for yourself in Japan. Visiting and backpacking for like 4 months in the Japanese countryside is a dream I've had since I was a child. The way you capture the essence of life over there just makes me yearn for something I've never experienced outside of media. Mahalo nui loa for sharing your journey with us.

it has been a pleasure to have found your channel a few months ago, and binge-watched up to your recent uploads. Watching you turn this abandoned house, into a home, has been wonderful. It is a peaceful, but hard-working lifestyle that is so interesting to get an insight into. I'd love to see more about your day-to-day lives and how you make your livelihoods to support this peaceful life. The work you two do outside of the house and yard. But as always, thank you for your hard work in making these videos for us all to enjoy!

Ok I just finished watching…we first saw your video when we were interested in watching Akia houses and we stumbled upon your very first episode. We could not believe all the bugs and wild creatures. I would had been screaming, in fact I was screaming while watching it!!!Don’t know how you two lived through it!!! Anyways ever since that very first video we have been watching you three(Pancake,too). We are so proud of what progress you have made living in such a rural area. I’m a city person and I know I could not do what you guys been doing. But watching you work so hard seams well worth it. Such lovely place you have made. So peaceful. I can’t wait to show this video and watch it again with my hubby tonight, especially after a busy work day, this will give him peace and relaxation! Thank you for giving us this beautiful peaceful video! Looking forward to the next one. Much happiness to you three ❤! From Southern California 😊
