Hi lily-san, Thanks for sharing with us your honest opinions with us and I really appreciate that you literally put your idea to action ! I hope your message to the world will work well and many people will come to like and understand rural and country life and thought of Japan. Cheers.
Lilly, you have done a great job to introduce people and their lives in the country side in Japan. I sometimes visit my relatives living in country side. Based on my experiences, I feel your statement of kindness and hospitality is very true. I think it might be better to put English sub-title so that your video can get more attentions from people of other countries, who are interested in lives in Japan.
Hi Lilly, Thanks for sharing your story. I believe you have ‘grit’. I enjoy your videos! 😊 (My Grandfather and Grandmother lived in rural Japan on a small island in the Seto Naikai before moving to live in Canada).

Thank you so much! I hope i have enough grit to get through my first real winter...! We had our first frost the other day, and I've actually never driven in the snow yet...so I'm scared of the winter! 頑張ります〜!

@@HelloLillywith your determination, I have a good feeling that you'll get through winter successfully! When you're driving on snow and ice, please give yourself more time to stop, put more space between your car and the one in front of you and basically take your time. In the part of Canada that I'm in, it has already snowed and I have good winter tires. Stay safe and healthy!!
You know, I'm not lying, living in a rural/agriculture area feels peaceful, because you can see the nature around it, which balances the environment. For me, I am also living in a rural/agriculture area, in a Western style village.
That's awesome to hear about the strong bonds that can form in the Japanese countryside. :) It looks beautiful and I would like to see it once Japan opens the borders again! As always, it's interesting to see the differences between Japan and US, especially when it comes to rural areas. I have always felt like it's impossible to live in the rural US because it feels too empty. Japan doesn't seem as much that way, at least it seems like you're never too far from civilization. I personally think the US has a big cultural (and political) divide between city and small-town life. I wonder if Japan has as big of a divide.

Hi!! Yes, I hope you can visit Japan sometime soon =) Yeah, I've felt that too. I remember feeling soooo lonely when driving across the States bc there would be areas where there weren't people for 100s of miles. In Japan, most places you go there's a town somewhere nearby. but these day's the towns are becoming abandoned so it can be sad to see how rundown everything is becoming (at least if you're really far out). And there is apparently a small divide between the city and countryside, but bc almost no one is political or even very religious, it's nothing like what's been going on in the States the past year or so. I hope you have a great day!!!
Lilly san, I fully understand your thoughts and feelings in Japan. I love also Inaka. I have three boys who mixed Japanese and German. We love our summer house in Nasu, Tochigi. One of our sons is married to a wife from Vietnam. Their son, our grandchild, is a mixture of Japan, Germany, and Vietnam! My German wife has been living over 40 years with me. I sincerely hope that you live well in your world with kind people!
Hi Lily ! I agree 100% with your thought and opinion. I am willing to develop inbound tourism between japanease countryside and oversea tourist.

I am not so pessimistic for the decrease in population in Japan. There is a discussion for an appropriate population in Japan and I would agree to a half of the present population is ideal. I didn't know that cows like fermented soy bean paste! They are crazy for beer, btw:)🍻🍺😄
You were born and grew up in Japan but your English is as same as native speaker's. How did you learn it? From your parents? I've been in the US for over 40yrs, my English is still Japanese-English. lol I was born in Tokyo. I love there bc it is a stimulating town for me.

HI Lilly good morning this time. . so now it is cold weather a little bit in Tokyo. so how is your site? it may be colder than Tokyo I think , isn't it? did you ready for winter seson in your site? so about your new video , last night, I did watch your very nice video . I could watch your nice video before I go to the bed and I could watch this video completly until the end. and now I am taking my breakfast at this Denny's restaurant where is at around of the East Asakusa with making my message to you. In your video , I think you may had been telling us how can we live with having happy mind in the mountain. For me, I may have understood about your thinking mind to live in the mountain a little bit throught the video . yes, before until 8 years old , I was being in the mountain where is the middle of the SHIKOKU. yes, sometimes if I had been in the hard life situation , I real want to go back to my home town very much. but I am not able to do it . beause I have no strong mind . yes, I was being usde to live in athe very convinience life sitaution . until 9 years old, I was thinking about convinience life not very much. why? it is that I was compltely being the Nature life. in any way, the Nature was my friend and sometimes my family and sometimes he beccame my colleaque . why the nature became my colleaque? I was sometimes wanting to make my own house in the mountain, then the nature was giving many kinds materials to me to build my house. it was tree and wood strings , moss and leaf. these materials became for my house . it was like my secret base . yes, I may have kept alive by Nature. OK Lilly san, I am looking forward to watch your nice video again seey you until then.
Hi Liliy san , now I am watching your this video again. in these days you are trying to show short video abou how can we spend Rural Japan as well, aren`t you?
