I’m a Japan-based YouTuber living in rural Japan.

In 2021, my partner Jesse got a job in a blacksmith shop on the beautiful island of Shikoku, so we made the exciting move from our modern apartment in the rural part of Oita Prefecture to an even more remote old house in Kochi Prefecture. We’re renting this charming old house from our landlady, who raised her two boys here.

Our house was brought to this location over 80 years ago, so it’s hard to determine its true age. I love sharing snippets of our daily life in the Japanese countryside, including the delicious recipes I’ve learned from our friendly neighbors, the wonderful sense of community in our rural area, our adventures in gardening, and all the DIY projects that keep our old house cozy and functional.
