I'm Daiki, originally from Kyoto, Japan. I moved to Finland for my masters degree in business in 2016 and now I'm working in the capital area, Helsinki. Through this channel I'm hoping to share my experience in Finland and sometimes abroad, including culture, career, lifestyle and travel diaries.
I actively share my experience and learnings on Twitter and in my blog. Also, don't forget to subscribe this channel as I upload a video about Finnish culture and Nordic lifestyle EVERY WEEKEND! :)

People from Japan are always welcome to Finland

[@disregardtheconstabulary1276]

Absolutely, I feel like there is resemblance. Both humble, honest, hardworking people with respect for beauty in nature especially. And just like many Japanese people enjoy Lohikeitto, I fell in love with Sushi on the first taste. We may be far apart on the globe, but I like to think we are very close at heart :)

[@helenakoivisto4459]

It was wonderful to hear how well you speak Finnish. And this was a wonderful video. Thank you for making videos about Finland! Nice to see how you enjoy rafting. I wouldn't dare try it myself.❤ BTW I saw my first Aurora Borealis in Sodankylä very long time ago.

[@DAIKIFinlandLife]

Thank you for watching. Cool, northern lights are spectacular!

[@helenakoivisto4459]

@@DAIKIFinlandLife I agree.💚I saw green ones.

[@Alexandros.Mograine]

Kayaking, boating etc. is the best way to see the Finnish nature! you see so much so easily.

[@2810Prateek]

love your consistency!! this vlog felt like I was there and enjoying those places as well as those activities... this vlog was very nicely created and the great thing about this vlog was that it was long... felt so nice to watch this masterpiece... indeed thank you very much!!

[@DAIKIFinlandLife]

Thank you! Nice to hear since I started finding my vlog style lately haha

[@cinnamontea326]

My mom is from Posio. I love Lapland's landscapes.😊

[@DAIKIFinlandLife]

Posio was lovely!

[@mikkorenvall428]

Nothing to do with rice on the hiking trail. Comes from Same language word riis or ries, which means shrub or sapling. Sapling Hill if you like.

[@ennih9411]

Sä puhut niin hyvin suomea!! Wau!

[@Chastening]

River rafting looks like fun! Also nice way to get a bit deeper into nature I'd guess.

[@DAIKIFinlandLife]

Yes, it was fun indeed😀

[@r2dezki]

I've been rafting too, it's really fun! I'm glad you had fun too!

[@manemobiili]

Minä asun Kuusamossa, kiva kun tulit käymään!

Great video! Made me want to visit!

It was so fun to see you do all this activitives 😊 and see how you enjoyed of them.

[@DAIKIFinlandLife]

Thanks for watching 😀

[@vaguepresence1666]

As a native of Koillismaa it always makes me happy to see people visiting Kuusamo and Posio. I'm glad you enjoyed your visit. Seeing more reindeer than people is just your average day in north-eastern Finland😂. And I love that Kitkankylä country road, hope you didn't find driving around too monotonous, since the distances are pretty long. You had one mistake there, the flower you called Metsätähti is actually Ruohokukka. Metsätähti has usually seven petals and is more delicate in appearance. I hope this wasn't a test how many "umm, actually's" you can get😂. If you plan to visit again, I would recommend visiting Korouoma nature trail and Pentikmäki culture center, I see someone already recommended Karhunkierros hiking trail😊. I like how peaceful and honest your videos are. I don't usually comment on videos, but since you visited my heart's home Riisitunturi, I'll give you that engagement for the algorhitm 🫶

[@DAIKIFinlandLife]

Thank you for watching and the correct info about the flower😀

[@olavimakinen2631]

Kirjoitan suomeksi, koska useampia videoitasi katsoneena osaat suomea jo aika hyvin. Kuten jossain videossa sanoit että me, suomalaiset ja japanilaiset, olemme aika paljon samanlaisia, olen samaa mieltä. Pidän videoistasi ja ne 2 videota, jotka olen nähnyt, joissa olit Japanissa perheesi luona, olivat mielenkiintoinen lisä Suomessa kuvattujen lisäksi. Se viimeinen japanissa kuvattu video, jonka katsoin, jossa maistatit suomalaisia makeisia peheellesi oli hauska. Etenkin se kohta, jos he maistoivat salmiakkia. Jatka samaan malliin ja terveisiä perheellesi Japaniin, myös sille pienelle taaperolle, vaikka hän ei sitä ymmärräkkään.😄

[@DAIKIFinlandLife]

Kiitos paljon katsomisesta ja kommentista. Toivottavasti mun tytär tule käymään Suomessa jonain päivänä ja kokee suomalaista kulttuuria :)

Thank you very much...another super film about your adventures in beautiful Finland...👋❤️😉

[@DAIKIFinlandLife]

Thanks for watching!

[@Malleroinen]

Looks like you had a lot of fun in Ruka and Kuusamo! I visited there last February and went for a 5km husky safari ride which was truly amazing. Riisitunturi looked gorgeous then as all the trees were under a very thick snow blanket so they looked like frozen abstract statues. Hope you get the chance to visit there again in the winter time, too. But right now, let's keep enjoying the summer 😊

[@DAIKIFinlandLife]

Husky safari is also fun :D

[@anna-kaisajarvinen8495]

Kiitos videosta/videoista joita olen katsellut mielenkiinnolla, jatka samaan malliin, suuri kiitos!

Kiitos paljon :)

You too!

[@anza77]

That was some seriously expensive Pizza.. 20 or more €s... In my neck of the wood...(Turku) Regular pizzeria/kebab place pizzas goes 9-13€... (Makes me wonder how many of this places,(mostly owned by immigrants) in larger cities at least ..takes care 100% of their taxes, pays minimum salary and insurance payment etc 🤔) But even in more fanciers pizzerias it's considerably cheaper..

[@DAIKIFinlandLife]

Well, for dinner it's not too expensive for a nice pizza place.

I would recommend not going to Lapland during July. Early June is fine and from middle of August onwards. There is this called "räkkä" which is the word used for the worst mosquito and blood sucking gnat season up there. Literal black swarms of those insects at places that can leave you requiring hospital treatment from all the hundreds if not thousands of bites.

[@DAIKIFinlandLife]

It was nice in July

[@j3mixa]

Unless you have an allergy to insect bites it's very rare that you would need medical help even in July. It may not be for everyone and of course you should be prepared. Have some covering clothing and mosquito repellent with you and you'll be fine. I've been picking cloudberries in Lapland ever since I was 2 years old, so about 40 years and would never want to stay away from there in July. Räkkä is different every year. There has been some years when I've worn a t-shirt and no repellent and then there's been years that you need to be fully clothed or be eaten alive. But eather way, there is no place better than a swamp in Lapland in July. Amazing experience every year.
