Thanks for your comments from the England. There are times of the year when it rains a lot in Japan, but for some reason it often rains when we travel!
I'm glad the weather cleared up so much! It looks like Minori really enjoyed the sun, even if it's a little too bright sometimes! It's nice to feel the sun (when it isn't too hot lol!) It was really nice to see you and Minori enjoy a hike together! Running into the other family was a fun surprise! I think Minori is so adorable when she sticks her tongue out like that. It is Minori style! The hike seemed very tiring! It must be hard to hike all the way around the mountain while holding onto Minori, but it seems like it was well worth it! The ending was very cute too! As someone who has dogs, I know how excited they can get when their owner is away for so long. I bet Minori was happy to see her sister again as well!

Thanks for the comment. Actually, Minori mom hurt her back last week. And while she was playing with Minori in her arms. Therefore, Minori mama could not move at all, so things were very hectic. I am so glad that she finally got rid of the pain and was able to move in the last few days. Hiking with Minori in the video was fun. I am still happy to remember it. Karin was also very happy to see us and we were very happy too. Above all, Karin happy attitude toward Minori made me feel that we are really good friends. Also, did you manage to find the “hueki nori” that we introduced in the previous video?

Minori's name fits her quite well! I knew the character 美 for beauty, but I did not know the character 祈 for prayer! It's a wonderful name that brings up difficult and beautiful memories. Minori was so full of energy in this video it was so adorable! The Kawana Stained Glass Museum was very beautiful, I can understand why Minori was so at peace that she fell asleep. I think this is her way of immersing herself with the art. She knows how to appreciate good art and good food! The Mexican restaurant looked delicious. I think it is interesting to see Mexican food is enjoyed all over the world. Minori's expression when she was hungry was too cute, she looks a little grumpy! lol

Thanks for the comment! I'm really glad you know the meaning of Minori's name. I have always wondered when to tell the origin of her name, and within this video, it was just the right mood to introduce it, so my wish came true. And I am surprised that Minori's way of appreciating art was such a unique sleeping style! It reminded me of a Japanese anime called "Detective Conan," in which there was a character named "Sleeping Kogoro. I think Minori has become particularly assertive in recent years. While this is truly a welcome development and something to rejoice in, I sometimes feel pressured by it. But when I think of Minori's growth to date, I think of it as a kind of joy. I am also replying to this comment while I am currently making the video. I am sure the next video will be ready soon, so please look forward to it!

Poor Karin-chan did not get the chance to join in on the trip! I bet she had a great time with Minori's mom's parents, though! Minori was so full of energy in this video, it always makes me so happy to see! The Hueki Nori is so cute! I am also jealous of the Chiikawa merchandise! It is so hard to find here in America lol! The Komuroyama Park lift seemed so scary if you're afraid of heights! The view at the top was definitely worth it. Minori's expressions seem to be so happy when she's being held by her parents. She's also so good at sitting up by herself! She's getting stronger!! That is MINO POWER! The hotel you stayed at was very impressive! It makes me happy that there are so many accommodations for all kinds of situations. This kind of thoughtfulness is very important. The banquet food looked so delicious, it was very dangerous of me to watch this before bed! lol Minori's dance was especially adorable! It looked like a lot of fun as well, the video of you being drunk while holding Maho-chan is so funny! I hope everyone had fun seeing each other again! It must be a wonderful community to have, I hope the other families had a great time! The video of Minori in the yukata at the end was also so cute!!

The Izu Peninsula in Shizuoka Prefecture is easily accessible from Tokyo, is a popular vacation spot, and has many hot springs. There are also many restaurants offering delicious meals, which I showed you before I went to bed, and fishing ports are nearby, offering freshly caught seafood at the port. I am not good at heights, but I did my best to make Minori happy. The accessory of a container of fukinori seaweed is displayed in the car, and I think it will appear in the video in the future. Please look for it and see. The banquet where we were able to get together with everyone was really fun, and I learned a lot from the opportunity to talk to different families. I had some concerns about Karin, but I'm sure she had a great time with Mino's parents. The next video is in the works and will be available soon, so please look forward to it!

The Gattan go looked so fun!! I loved how happy Minori was during the ride, she must have loved the beautiful scenery and the nice breeze. I had no idea you had to ride a bike for the gattan go!! That's very impressive, it must have been a great workout. The bath afterwards must have felt very rewarding. Of course, I am most excited about the Chiikawa gachapon!! wwwww Minori is so cute with her little Chiikawa watch! The Mongolian style tents look so awesome, as well as the food!! The decorations of the tent must have been fun for Minori to look at, it must be new to her. However, the stinkbug problem sounds so stressful! It's wonderful that the hosts of the inn were so accommodating for this situation. I hope you can all go back when there are much less stink bugs!

Gattan Go!!! was very exciting. Perhaps I enjoyed it the most. I was happy to win a Chiikawa wristband. It looks good on Minori. It was definitely a place I would like to go back to when there are no bugs. I have been busy the last week, especially the last few days, and have been late in replying. A very close aunt of mine passed away suddenly a few days ago and I was at the funeral yesterday. She was a very respected person who consulted with us about any kind of physical disability before Minori was born, and even after Minori was born, she really cared about us and sometimes lent us her help. At the end of last year, he gave Minori a Christmas present every year, but not that year, and there was no present for her birthday in February either. What happened? I was concerned because my aunt was not feeling well and sent me an e-mail saying that she could not send me a present right away, but that she would definitely send me another one. A few days ago, my uncle contacted us around noon to inform us that she was admitted to the hospital and that she would be able to leave after recuperation. We told him that we would go to visit him, but that evening we received news of a sudden change in his condition, and we rushed to the hospital. While his consciousness was fading, when Minori went to visit him, he opened his eyes and seemed pleased to see her. The family told me that he regretted not being able to present Minori with a gift. We told her thank you from the bottom of our hearts and asked permission to watch Minori eat in her aunt's hospital room. I am sure she was pleased with her growth. My aunt always checked social networking sites and enjoyed Minori's activities. I mentioned this to you this time because she always commented on our videos and watched over Minori, and I commented on this event as an event that I wanted to tell you about.

I was so excited to see the Minori pikmin (Minomi) early in the video! The pikmin pictures are always SO cute!!! The english subtitles make following the information so much easier, I really appreciate it as someone who cannot speak Japanese! The kurikuri no Sato Nakatsugawa is so cool! Is it a living facility for people with disabilities? I really hope the places you go to are all accessible for Minori! Minori loves her drum at home so I bet she was very excited to see the taiko drums!! You visit so many private baths it looks so nice! I really want to visit them if I travel to Japan! Your analogy was very funny! It sounds so odd and a little uncomfortable to have the tatami mats in the hot springs! Minori's dialogue with her mom was so adorable, Minori gets so excited when she hears about food! I cannot wait to see the Gattan Go video next!! Your videos are also very good tourism videos! I think if I ever get to go to Japan I will definitely watch the minoful videos again to plan my trip!

I am glad Minori called the Pikmin in costume MINOMI! I am also surprised to know that you like taiko and thank you for following me. It was really interesting to hear about “Kurikuri no Sato”. I was not able to talk to the staff because I was on a trip, but it is an area of great interest to me. I was very interested in this area because, as a matter of fact, I have often heard of cases where people are unable to participate in the workforce because of their disabilities. Nakatsugawa City in Gifu Prefecture is tackling this issue head on, and I think it is very commendable. As I raise Minori, I wonder what I can do for her. One of the possibilities is to become a picture book author, as I have mentioned before. However, I believe that one of the best parts of traveling is the opportunity to become aware of these things. Gero City (referred to as Gero Onsen in the video) is one of the most famous hot spring resorts in Japan. It is an elegant town, and I hope you will stop by when you come to Japan. The exchange between Minori and my wife is one that I always edit and watch over and over again. I guess Minori and my wife have other private conversations since they never have this kind of exchange when they are with me. Gattango is in the final stages of editing and will be uploaded shortly. If I can make the video a little more enjoyable for those who watch it, I will be happy.

@@minoful I think the topic of disabled people participating in the workforce is a very interesting. In my opinion, I think disabled people should not have to work but I understand that is not always the case in this world. I also think that being able to socialize with others through working is very healthy. I really like the way you are able to learn more about yourself and the world by traveling. If you ever become a picture book author, I will absolutely import your book!! It would be a very precious treasure to me, a symbol of friendship across the world. The hot springs always look so relaxing, even just seeing footage puts me at ease. It's such a precious moment between the two of them! I hope you can capture more of them. I bet Minori would love to talk to you as well, in her own special way :) I see that the Gattango video has been uploaded and I will watch it as soon as possible!

Thank you for your comment! In Wakayama Prefecture, the sea is very beautiful and the fish is delicious, and Minori used to eat a lot. When Minori was first born, the doctors at the hospital gave us pessimistic opinions about her and we were also pessimistic about her future. Looking back, we decided to travel because we wanted to show Minori not only the area where we lived, but also other areas, and to visit friends in those areas. There was a lot of anxiety at first, and we worried about forgetting things and complications when we went out, but it was a lot of fun and we got to experience a lot of things. The world is a place I always want to visit. Ever since Minori was born, I had a dream of making my daughter a picture book author. I thought that by becoming a picture book author, she would be able to move her hands more consciously and touch landscapes and many other things. I would like to touch the landscapes and cultures of the world, and one day I would like to see the Northern Lights. It would be great if I could express that in a picture book.

The videos are fun, adorable and educational! Nara had so many tourists! My friend was in Nara a couple of weeks ago, she got to feed the deers as well! I'm glad Minori can have an expperience similar to other students her age, it looks like she was really impressed by the statues! She also gets to enjoy famous local food in her own way as well! Minori can do everything :) I cannot wait for the next video!! I saw many posts on instagram about the exhibition!

We are happy and encouraged by the praise for the video we produced. Our goal was to be able to showcase the fun, but we also wanted to show the medical side so that people could get a more three-dimensional picture of Minori. We are happy that your friend was able to visit Japan. However, I am very jealous that you were able to feed the deer. I hope Minori enjoys her food on her trip. Please look forward to our next video, in which we will introduce you to our photo exhibition.
It looks like Mino-tan and Tora-kun had a lot of fun! The jinbei Mino-tan wore was adorable! I think Tora-kun seems a little shy, but he is always watching Mino-tan when she's happy, it's very cute :) they have their own special way of communicating, I think. I loved the interview with Mino-tan in the car! She is able to respond in her own way, she's always learning and growing. The places you went to in this video were so interesting! Mino-tan is an expert traveller! I think she must have an advanced taste in art now!

I am glad you complimented the jinbei Minori was wearing. This jinbei was chosen by Minori's father. Being able to travel with Tora-kun was an emotional experience that one family could not have had alone. When Minori is born, I want to show her the wide world from the small world of the hospital room. I thought about what I could do to help her experience the vastness of the world and came to the conclusion that I wanted to show Minori the ocean. We believe this is where our family started to travel.
