A Message from Us

We have never looked back since we decided to move from our jobs as English teachers in a small Japanese town to an even smaller and more remote countryside area in Shikoku.

Throughout this time, we have shared our experiences with you, taking you on this journey by sharing insights into life in an ‘akiya’ house, renovation projects, neighborly interactions, and all the other interesting side stories that make living here such a gem.

Each contribution, whether a one-time payment on Ko-Fi or a monthly payment on Patreon, helps us create and share content on YouTube and Instagram, work on house projects, and reinvest back into the community.

Thank you as always for your support!

-Mika, Jesse, and Pancake 👧👦🐕
