A Day in My Life (#8): A Saturday in Rural Japan

[@YoshikazuHayashi]

A warm feeling has been floating around in the back of my mind throughout the time of watching your day life. I don't know how, but your videos have this magic power of making the viewers happy!

[@TexaninTokyo]

Yoshikazu Hayashi Awwwww! I am so happy now~ I love making people happy! As a result, I get happier :D

[@YoshikazuHayashi]

The current statistics say 466 out of 480 people who viewed this video gave thumbsup (97%) and there are no thumbsdown. That is quite a ratio! Besides, 2% of those viewers read my comment AND pushed the Like button (^o^)

[@TexaninTokyo]

Yoshikazu Hayashi That is fantastic~! Thanks for your information!

[@MelanieAnneAhern]

coming back to watch this because I miss ya'll, and this video in particular makes me inexplicably happy lol. a sweet marriage, yummy food, bike rides, the japanese countryside. i love it all :)

[@francesc9043]

Melanie Anne Ahern sammmeee!! I’m binge watching some of their videos today

[@stephaneyferguson8394]

I never get tired of watching you guys make coffee in the morning for some reason...it's almost comforting to me...like a comforting routine...I don't know...am I weird? haha...thanks for the video!!! :)

[@MissManicMuffin]

It's honestly one of my favorite parts of their day in the life videos, so I get it. For me it's just the familiar feeling since I make coffee the same way every morning.

[@nanba009]

their daily routines have some ASMR effect.

[@stephaneyferguson8394]

Azuki Island Hey!!! I know what ASMR is!!! *highfive*

[@jordan6287]

I agree it makes me feel at home in my mind

[@missmagenta4978]

+Stephaney Ferguson that makes so much sense! Watching these videos help me calm down. I just love them and their life so much~

[@KellyMorita]

You guys have such a great relationship. It warms my heart!

[@N00RA96]

I love it how you live in the countryside but are still able to ride a bike to shops etc. I live in rural Finland and it's almost 14 km to the nearest shop.

[@julesv_]

N00RA96 That must be a bit tricky if you have an emergency,

[@ArekSuroboyo1]

N00RA96 but they are probably not all like that.

[@ChuckNorris-gw2wh]

N00RA96 Norway is beautiful. I've visited there, albeit only Oslo. However, I still got to fly over the country. Oslo is also one of the smallest cities I've come across.

[@Aralka1234]

Living in a rural area seems so nice! Of course Tokio inspires me but I am not that kind of person who wants to be surrounded by EVERYTHING all the time. I hope that one day I will settle down in a small japanese village~~

[@queen_xxqueen6042]

Julia Bernard you probably need multiple visas to settle in a Japanese village

[@ltoodles1231]

We miss you. I love watching these old videos. Feels like you are still around. :) I hope you two are doing well. :)

[@bkwrrm]

I really enjoyed the look into your day. Poor Ryosku looked so upset when the hammock broke. Heck of a way to end a nap.

[@Rhikitty]

Why would anyone take the time to thumbs down this video? That's just mean. I enjoyed watching - I love the companionship you two have, I'm sure it means your marriage will stay strong and full of laughter! :)

[@tlc3414]

I ordered your comic book, "My Husband Thinks I'm Crazy", over the weekend! I can't wait to read it with my husband!

[@Ejohns97]

You guys have THE most precious relationship ever!

[@XxBlondeGothxX]

You guys are so adorable. I really love watching your videos. They just make me so happy! Whenever I am stressing out about school and work and stuff your videos just make me giggle. Especially Ryoske, he is just so silly. It is hard to be sad and watch your videos, ha, have a great day guys!

[@kristaloeb8782]

Glad we get to see those fun details. I love seeing how cleaning and cooking have subtle differences between cultures.Thanks guys ! Super enlightening !

[@TexaninTokyo]

Krista Loeb That is true! Cleaning and cooking have tiny bits of differences depending on cultures! (Ryosuke)

[@AK-xu7hi]

you have no idea how relaxing those videos are, I don't know why but thank you for sharing! ありがとう!

[@TexaninTokyo]

alek k はは！ありがとう！

[@amancalledfroggy]

this honesty system in japan is pretty amazing!

[@Yokkiina]

Your videos remind me of when I was a little kid! I lived in Japan for the first 6 years of my life^_^. Being half Japanese, I struggled so much to fit in but there were also some really amazing times. I miss the food so much!

[@charlottew2731]

hi grace!! i just wanted to thank you for releasing these videos so often! they really relax me especially when i'm stressed or sad. (:

[@lydialilly3747]

I love these so much!! 💕

[@TexaninTokyo]

Lydia Lilly I love making these videos! yay

[@yzak27]

I love these videos about your everyday lives! Even if it's just mundane tasks that you do, it's still very interesting and insightful. I adore you guys so much!

[@PinkPearl101]

So addicted to these videos. I started watching from number 1 recently, and found I've watched most of them up until this point! haha :)

[@jayisoldem56]

of all the day in my life videos I think this one is the best I can't tell you exactly why but it's very very entertaining love you both

[@lalimondragon7670]

This is the very first video I stumbled upon in 2016 and I loved it so much I became a loyal subscriber. I’m still subscribe to them, hoping one day they’ll comeback 😔 miss them so much. Hope they are doing well

[@snowfish1121]

You're super productive on the weekend... wish I could say the same for myself! That was pretty funny how Ryosuke's nap was interrupted... ;)

[@strappernick9891]

I've always been curious about certain aspects of Japanese life, the gardens, temples, customs, etc. Your vids are very educational and you guys are a cute couple. Looking forward to watching many more!

[@sanelajusufi5520]

he seems like the sweetest man ever. you guys are awesome people!

[@nnbk_fornow]

I seriously love these day in a life videos. Keep 'em coming!

[@yunadestined]

Texan in Tokyo This was a really good video! For some reason, I felt like you guys really did a lot more in this episode and as always it was a great glimpse at your daily life. Also, I really really really enjoyed seeing you two biking and spending time together at the park although I wish I could've seen more. I hope you guys would be able to do a full video of biking and maybe showing us a bit more of what it looks like in your area! I also felt kind of bad for Ryosuke in the video since he fell and broke your hammock and had his tummy aching after you guys had dinner. Still a great video and thoroughly enjoyed it! Keep up the great work and looking forward to more videos! :)

[@nightly999]

Your life is so peaceful and simple. So nice!!

[@tatg4174]

It's amazing how that little farmer stand didn't have anyone attending it, just a money box. The trust levels in Japan are so high

[@acyw123]

I love your hat!!! It's so cute!! I want it . And the bike riding just seemed so scenic .

[@snowypuff1992]

I love the music playing behind you in the park its lovely!

[@stes07]

Rewatching your videos. It's really fun as always. Miss you lotsss

[@jbazile6873]

Oh wow, is that a farm stand where they just trust you to pay for what you buy? That would never fly in America. People would take everything without so much as leaving a dime

[@BlueLightning26]

I hate to say it, but I completely agree with you.

[@AmyandRouge]

JJ Bazile In Germany when you buy potatos and fresh veggys from the local farmers you sometimes are allowed to just go into their stock and take what you and when leave the money in a bowl or something similar. Not all farmers do that but some.

[@sunshinetomato]

JJ Bazile I'm going to second what mlindsey1986 said -- I grew up in Pennsylvania and we had farm stands all over the place where they just trust you to pay. That's how I grew up, it was the norm.

[@EnVee215]

sunshinetomato yep it is true I also live in Pennsylvania and in some rural areas they do this as well.

[@Animelily]

Agreeing with all of the above. Rural PA has lots of places like this as well as places where you can "pick your own." For a smaller price you can go out in the field and pick what ever the in season thing is, usually fruit. Much of it is honor system.

[@jlandkev]

It was great to interview you on the Just Japan Podcast!

[@TexaninTokyo]

Thanks! I had lots of fun!

[@samgmcrX]

A day in your life videos are my favorites :) love your videos and hope you continue to make them.

[@MosaicRose99]

I really like these videos. It's fun seeing just a day in your life, what you do, what you eat and so on. Like others have said, you are such a cute couple, and you obviously love each other very much. :)

[@caira3984]

I use to love AnPan Man when i was a kid and I had lived in Japan. i did 't know what was said but I was glued to the tv always!

[@arimpact]

August 2019 I just discovered you guys through Rachael and jun's channel's 2014 double date vids with u guys. I love your daily life vids soooo much! So sad you had to stop, glad to see your twitter yearly updates to being well. Hope you're happily raising your kid(s)!

[@purplechickon]

At the beginning when you guys were matching that was pretty funny and cute. Great minds think alike!

[@TexaninTokyo]

purplechickon Thank you!! Yeah, great minds think alike!

[@Caigul]

i really enjoy your guys videos. japan has always been one of my favorite places and would love to go visit one day. am also from texas

[@kadedelis3062]

That place is REALLY beautiful! It makes me miss my old home in Nara-ken.

[@holl3iemarie]

I get sunburnt so easily and i hardly even getted tanned while outside. Ryosuke's meals always make me so hungry as they look so yummy! He hould totally open a cafe or something ;) And i love how you get to ride your bikes. I really want to buy a new bike to ride instead of walking :) Thankyou for making me smile with another great episode. I just love you guys!

[@TexaninTokyo]

Holly Marie Thanks for loving us!! Your smile motivates us to keep going~! Biking is very nice in Japan, especially in the countryside! (Ryosuke)

[@holl3iemarie]

you're welcome!! :D

[@AriaJohnston8689]

Thanks for the awesome vids I watch them in the morning and it starts my day off with a smile :)

[@lexiloves808]

You guys are so cute! I love your videos, thanks for all the hard work you put into it!

[@madelineteo9401]

I love your way of life. Really similar to how me and my hubby are in rural Holland :D Makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

[@stayinurlainey]

I really love the day in my life videos!

[@daemon6014]

I’d say I’m the biggest Texan in Tokyo fan still

[@PinkCorvid]

I miss living in a rural area so much! Watching your videos is both comforting and inspiring for me. Someday I'll live in the country again. :) I especially miss riding my bike. My current city is horrible to bicyclists, people are constantly getting hit by cars, and there are almost no bike lanes. I just don't feel safe biking here. :(

[@AldarionErendis]

Could you please show us how you made that awesome looking meal? I've watched this video a few times now & everytime I see it, it makes me sooo hungry. I'd like to be able to try cooking it myself. I love watching your videos, you guys are so cute together, it's a joy to see. Thanks for brightening my day :D

[@Jocaju3]

Such beautiful places, specially where you guys had lunch.

[@xingcat]

Breads with sweet cream in them! I miss that (and coconut sable biscuits) from being in Tokyo.

[@celticphoenix2579]

I don't know how available such things are in Japan, but for stomach ache you can apply peppermint oil in a carrier oil (5 drops peppermint oil to a teaspoon carrier oil - usually olive or coconut) and it eases the cramps and the gas / bloating. If the gastric distress progresses then try a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in a mug of hot water which eases the peristalsis and makes everything easier to bear when the gut rebels against you. Hope it helps for next time.

[@anasssdin]

I love this series, keep making these videos! Much love for you both :))

[@GalaxiaCarolina]

I absolutely love the fact that you buy food from local farmers. That´s like a dream for me!

[@TexaninTokyo]

Galaxia Carolina Buying food from local framers is the best!! I often have small talks with them (Ryosuke)

[@GalaxiaCarolina]

It would be awesome a video of local farmers!! All the farming process and what do they sell ... (Just saying haha :3) (⌒-⌒; ).

[@MissDarkAngel280397]

You are the cutest couple I have ever seen, and you seem so happy and pleased with your life!

[@Lenschunk]

This was a really nice video to watch! Really relaxing.

[@TexaninTokyo]

JHillLife I am glad to hear that~! Thanks

[@tomokotomoko]

Fried Soomen!　Anpanman!　Bibinba Udon!　I love all foods♪　hahaha(^^) A lovely Saturday♪

[@RinneKid]

These vlogs are always fun *whispers* moreee

[@LilacPeony28]

You guys are seriously such a cute couple! When I get married I hope to have the relationship you two have because it just seems so full of love and fun (: I love your videos! Have a good day!

[@gmcenroe]

the two of you are such a cute couple. I live in U.S. but want to visit Japan someday, I have learned alot about Japan from your videos. Thanks!

[@gaijinhakase1575]

Makes me so happy to see these Day in Your Life videos :-) gosh I need to take husband lessons from Ryosuke haha! Thanks again guys, warm wishes from USA!

[@GildedOnyx]

awww you got a bad sunburn, Ryosuke fell, and he got a tummy ache :O rough day! but it was a super fun video to watch!!!!!!!!!! :3 thanks for the very entertaining 12 minute video! :D

[@TexaninTokyo]

Kyle Arndt Yeah! It was painful but fun day for us too :D Thanks for having fun with us! (Ryosuke)

[@racameron77]

I know it's a bit late now, but in the future, if you have a spritzer bottle and put a mixture of vinegar and water in it, it's a Godsend to alleviate pain associated with sunburn. Give it a try! And keep moisturizing!

[@Oukoyami]

I'd say you two had a productive Saturday : )

[@jayisoda8961]

Love you guys and don't forget to love each other always!!!

[@rogueofthecraft]

Love these videos! The food always looks so yummy! And can I say how jealous I am of that yummy bread and the farmer stands you have around? If I want fresh stuff from a farmer, I have to wait for the farmer's markets on the weekends, and it's way more expensive that $1! Keep up the awesome living! ^_^

[@Urza.]

I love that hat so much Grace! It looks so nice on you ☺️

[@00waterfall00]

These are my favourite types of videos :D :D :D Please vlog more

[@troglodytex2028]

Just finished your first book and it was wonderful! My laughing caused my mom to ask what I was reading and now she's stolen my tablet so she can read it too.

[@TexaninTokyo]

Stephanie Jett Haha great to hear that!!

[@mahimasultana4904]

When he said cheap me I died from laughing. This couple is toooo cute.

[@aimeea8404]

What a wonderful video. The bakery food looked amazing, especially the curry breads! Just discovered your channel and subscribed. What movie did you watch out of curiosity?

[@JennaNoManga]

The lack of people is so amazing ! On Weekends Tokyo is so crowded and noisy so stressfull. Careful to sunburns though :)

[@Kparso01]

Grace! I'm from New Mexico (not that it matters for this comment lol) but, you act exactly like my sister! Holy cow. She is very self motivated and a teeny bit type A lol, while her husband is very silly and laid back. you guys are so funny (: love it! xoxo Kate

[@TexaninTokyo]

Kparso01 Haha that is interesting!! Thanks for having fun with us :)

[@tornelysian]

This is a perfect example of why the Japanese lifestyle is so healthy! Especially in the country. Even with kare-pan which I could eat everyday! :) Awesome video as always, all the best with the hammock! They scare me! ^_^

[@MrsDudil]

Grace, Ryo-chan, I miss you guys so much!!!!!!! Even though I respect your decision, in my heart I still hope you'll make a comeback! Grace, you were such an inspiration to me! Xo xo

[@hidetoshiyagi1083]

Enjoy u life in Japan!!

[@fibisugar]

Curry bread is delicious :3 I had some at a bakery here in Hawaii. N omg I love chocolate or jam filled pan :3 Soo delicious

[@BlackYgritte]

the curry bread is absolutely amazing

[@TexaninTokyo]

YgritteWildling These are not healthy...but at least I got to eat his face, I should be stronger now (Ryosuke)

[@SilverGemini]

I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but you remind me of a female version of Matthew Gray Gubler. You're adorable and so is your husband~ I just discovered your videos by chance, but I love them. :D

[@TexaninTokyo]

+Linsey Houser Wohoo~ I will take that compliment :)

[@jasminvillegas9036]

OMG

[@camangkor4839]

+Texan in Tokyo I like the rice paddy. It is like in the Cambodian countryside. Here in the countryside, you can see it all over the horizon. It is so green and smells so good with palm trees dotted everywhere. During the monsoon, we get a lot of all kinds of fish , crabs frogs and snails from the fields so we don't need to buy it . it is always hot so we grow what we need in the countryside. We only buy MSG, salt sugar , fish sauce , soy sauce , noodles and some spices. Life is simple and relaxing. I don;t like cities' lifestyle at all. We go to the city just for a quick visit only. City's life is too stressful for me. Thank you so much for your videos. You guys are awesome, a perfect happy couple !!!.

[@camangkor4839]

+Texan in Tokyo it is so funny that the hammock broke, poor your husband!!!. I am sitting here under the shining moon and laughing with you guys.

[@oldlyswansea]

+Texan in Tokyo omg they got an honesty box (it's the bottle that your placing your money into) as well lol i though they only used those in Wales, also i just found your videos and they are epic

[@MsSunny9]

Love these, thanks for sharing :)

[@Taco117.]

Lol it's cleaning day lets lay outside and read :) just kidding I know you helped him !!!! Such a nice couple

[@SkeIetor]

I miss you guys. Hope you're both doing well

[@TemperedStorm]

I'd like to see this prepared separately as a Cooking With ... episode to get more detail as to how it's prepared. Either one of you could demonstrate how it's prepared.

[@ikaruseijin01]

I love Anpanman. A superhero who saves people by having them eat his head. So strange you can't help but love it. Or at least *I* can't help but love it. I want to get an Anpanman doll or figurine to put on my desk.

[@TexaninTokyo]

ikaruseijin01 Yup! He is legendary!! (Ryosuke)

[@lmaokevinxD]

Ahh! I recently stumbled upon your youtube channel and I'm so glad that I subscribed. You two are amazingly adorable ;u;

[@TexaninTokyo]

***** Thanks!! We are happy to be found (Ryosuke)

[@fupz]

Oh, that hammock really snapped, huh? :-o Must be Ryosuke's MASSIVE muscles, haha! ^^

[@TexaninTokyo]

Fupmeister Or I have been eating too much...NOOOOOOOOOOOOO (Ryosuke)

[@cjkang10]

yessss!!! i got way too excited to watch this video!

[@TexaninTokyo]

Joy Kang Thanks for being so excited!

[@Shadowdancer00]

When I did my home stay in Japan we actually didn't wear slippers in the house. Everyone (but grandma) went barefoot or wore socks which was super convenient for me because i was afraid it was going to take forever to get used to slippers. But also i SUPER miss Japanese bread. Like I actually had a hard time with a lot of Japanese food (a lot made me nauseous for some reason?) So I ate a lot of different breads and they were always delicious. I also miss weird things like apple juice because it all tasted really different bur super super good.

[@ForeverCellist]

Ahhh I get those curry buns at my local Korean supermarket. I can only get them when my family goes shopping there (not too often because it's a bit far) but now I'm craving one. D: Grace, may I ask what part of Texas you're from? I'm from the Dallas area! (Like half an hour north of Dallas haha)

[@messienessie33]

It would be awesome if you made cooking videos. I am personally trying to eat healthier, but I don't know where to start and it would be nice to see what you guys would consider healthy.

[@Treforfive12]

God i wish i could move to japan that park looked beautiful. That's my dream to move to japan..

[@joanysaussage]

Hey, could you do a video on the biking culture in Japan? It's so interesting to see you guys bike everywhere :) Love your videos by the way! :)

[@ba11ard]

I recently found your channel. I think I'm addicted... XD

[@yuukiashiya8995]

You two are perfect match!!!

[@hearsthewater]

You have probably already been told this a thousand times, but the next time you get a sun burn, put equal parts vinegar and water in a spray bottle and spray it on your burn every so often. You will smell like a pickle, but the burn will cool down very quickly.

[@Art1611]

You live in such a lovely place 😊. I'd love to visit Japan, both the big cities and the "countryside areas" (I think that's the appropriate word; I don't know, because we don't have those where I live...at least, not close by).

[@dogeyt5995]

4:33 what song is that?

[@GroovySpleen]

You guys are so cute and your life looks like a lot of fun. I especially like the shoe washing. I never thought about washing my shoes. +1 life improved tip.

[@TexaninTokyo]

EmilyCeleste .Jean Haha! My shoes get dirty so easily, I don't want to just buy new ones. I am too cheap :) (Ryosuke)

[@GroovySpleen]

Texan in Tokyo Last night I had a dream about washing my shoes. I think this video impacted me a lot. o_o

[@peterjohn428]

The road to everywhere goes through rice fields. That is what I took away from this video. Good thing I like rice.

[@sarailorenzo5597]

I absolutely love your hat! You guys are so cute :)
