🏠 We Moved to a Mountain House in the Japanese Countryside 🗻 Four Buildings, Zero Rent ⛩️

[@paul_zwift_RR]

"The daughter has warmly adopted us as members of her family..." That got me 😭

[@sophiaisabelle027]

The whole countryside looks stunning. Indeed living in rural areas gives you a nice perspective on things and a fresh new start.

[@mossygreenlog]

Spent a week in 2007 riding all around the perimeter of Shikoku. Best week ever!

[@copperhousefarm4794]

Congratulations on your marriage and move to the lovely mountains!

[@debbie1247]

Omedetto gozaimasu! What wonderful news and another beautiful video!

[@ellies6563]

Delighted to meet Mr Nakamura 😊

[@mamachicken1548]

Congratulations on your marriage and new life together in the mountains! He has a very nice smiling face.

[@sbaumgartner9848]

Bitsii, congratulations to you and Mr. Nakamura! We don't all have to live in big busy cities and you are both an example of this. I'm soooo impressed with the calmness you exude in revitalizing abandoned buildings and land. The aesthetics of the small water feature Mr. Nakamura made is perfect. I am sure you will find many uses for the beautiful bamboo you have access to. I wish you the best.

[@cori_in_the_pnw]

Congratulations on your marriage and your move to a new home. It looks so lovely and peaceful there.

[@nicolokramer3057]

Congratulations to you and your husband!

[@michaelschafer6379]

I feel sad about the video where it seems that you leave your house ... but now hearing about Mr. Nakamura changes everything and I feel so much joy right now even I struggle myself right now. All the best wishes from Germany!

[@judiehavard4903]

I am new to your videos. They just showed up on my page. Congratulations on your marriage. Can't wait to see all the beautiful changes ahead. Where you blend both your talents and skills together. I have no doubt it will be amazing. The little water pot was lovely. Many happy wishes for your future together. And turn an ordinary house into a lovely home.😊

[@inknpaintCW]

Congratulations! The Japanese countryside is amazingly beautiful. I spend a lot of time in the country when I'm in Japan and it never feels like enough. Enjoy the country life and the joy of being with a special person.

[@trapper_keeper]

I thought I enjoyed this channel before but damn, look where it's headed now! So exciting!

[@filipbak1135]

[@kalesvalleyshills]

I really dream to live in peaceful mountain far from the noise, you can plant, you can do everything you want

[@keithtulip4140]

Intriguing and compelling. Your life IS evolving is positive ways.

[@libertyblueskyes2564]

Oh how sweet that you found someone you want to spend your life with. I am most amused you call him so formally 'Mr. Nakamura'. He is very talented and accredited with his work on the land. I have no doubt you will be blissfully happy in your new home.

[@Curiouscrazy]

Congrats on the new chapter, looks like such a peaceful life! Best of luck on the new property.

[@anndinapoli7723]

So marvelous. Please keep your You Tube and Patreon followers updated, even though you are obviously very busy now. CONGRATULATION! ❤

[@Joey-Cameltoe]

Having a coffee in the morning on the hillside with the misty hill in the background could be heavenly. Lots of potential! Congrats on the move and meeting a companion...looking forward to your future videos!

[@susanpasion226]

Thank you for sharing a bit about yourself. So very special. I am looking forward to the updates on all the projects.

[@jonmarshall1502]

Beautiful video.

[@patbarlen2764]

Congratulations on your new life.

[@chellebcreations4358]

I’m so happy you have found someone to share your life with. I watched as you chose and moved into your last house but you didn’t really seem happy there. Here you seem happy and contented. I wish you two much happiness and blessings.

[@Za11oy]

Congratulation Bitsii and Nakamura, while it feels a little bit sad to not get to see everything you wanted to do with the former house and the beautiful journey along the way. I'm sure we're all pretty excited to see the beautiful life you'll be working on together in the mountains. Thanks for sharing as always!

[@nickrolls1513]

The best videos on KZbin...bless you both...

[@felinetherapy4782]

Truely beautiful and congratulations! That little fish pond was exquisite.

[@Slowsteading]

Congratulations, Bitsii! Looks like you two have found a little slice of heaven in Shikoku there :) Thank you as well for inspiring our travels-we are a family of four who has been exploring Shikoku and the surrounding areas for a potential new home for ourselves as well. Looking forward to seeing you get established in your new place!

[@Ndcl88]

This color filter has completely changed my view and feelings about your channel. This color tone is very suitable for content about Japan. I watched your akiya video a few months ago, it looked normal, I watched it mainly for information. But after just a few months, your video editing has improved a lot, this video has become like a beautiful, heartwarming video about nature and relaxation. Thank you. I've just started a new channel with my first videos, hoping I can learn a lot to perfect my skills.

[@anakirola9204]

Congrats on the new home and your new life with your husband!!! A well suited match. Both so talented and good hearted.

[@christineb8148]

What a joyful time in your life- congratulations! The property you two are reclaiming is really beautiful -I really loved the image of the lilies with the rain drops

[@greensage395]

Once the word gets out, the whole world is going to want live in such a Wonderful Gift!

[@m.willow11]

Congrats! I pray u two have a long life full of happiness and joy in your marriage! Also i LOVE your new home...everything is so tranquil and cozy! ❤

[@Erynzindulge]

fantastic video, thank you so much for sharing! Please continue to show us how the gardens grows throughout the months :)

[@infopubs]

Mazel tov! Wishing you both all the best in this next chapter of your lives!

[@BaumMiner]

That place loos soooo idyllic. I love it! Also: I don't know if this is weird to suggest, but i think you could become good friends with the channel maigomika, they also moved to Shikoku and live in the countryside. So I imagine the interests align pretty well.

[@Domi3454]

They already know each other.

[@TheKamakuraGardener]

Congratulations Bitsii! 🥰😇🤩🐶👍🏾

[@rodflounder]

Genuinely excited you watch along with your progress! Congratulations on the new home and the marriage!

[@violantederojas6188]

I was sorry to hear you leaving your other home, but am thrilled to hear *why* and for whom you left it! Congrats and good luck to you both in your new (old) home!

[@lynnmitch]

Congratulations!! I really love your channel.

[@GingerByrn1]

Congatulations to you both! What an adventure in such a lovely location! You’re spoiled for choice in planting locations. 😊

[@AW-uv3cb]

What a beautiful place and how sweetly you talk about your partner! Looks like a good, simple and busy life you got going there!

[@treasurechest1993]

Congratulations to you and Mr Nakamura. Sounds so formal..Mr..Wishing both all the happiness. ❤

[@VeraGolosovaArt]

Me and my family moved this week to another country, and before that we moved a year ago. I never knew it is such a toll. I miss the villge we lived in for a year. And my heart wants nothing, but getting back and settling. Your videos always helps me to see the importance of inner compass. To see the courage to make my own plan. For now we need to settle in the new country yet again (which is also btw amazing), but I am crafting a unique life set for me and my family in my brain now.

[@barajasjab]

Congratulations! The land and house are absolutely charming! Such an adventure. Thank you for sharing and my very best wishes to you and your husband (or future husband). 😁🤩

[@alfie8953]

Congratulations Bitsi and Mr Nakamura and best wishes in your new venture!

[@W4iteFlame]

Oh, cool. Glad for you) And it seem that there will be some more interesting videos in the future

[@KarelSeeuwen]

Greetings from Nagano. Looks like you've got a great fixer-upper. Good luck with keeping the pioneer plants under control.

[@martinvalencia798]

Wonderful update! Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@marlenemarlene945]

Aww best wishes on your new journey we will look forward to see new videos on what country life is there.

[@leea.farruga1834]

Congratulations! Your new home looks lovely. As soon as I saw the land I said to my husband, they moved to a Miyazaki movie. Then your husband mentioned his Totoro tree. I laughed out loud.

[@gerdriechers8426]

Congratulations! All the best to you. Keep up your wonderfull work. Thank you.

[@adambarker3130]

Wonderful news! You are so discreet! I always felt there was a mystery how you managed to communicate with Japanese country folk who probably had quite strong accents when you spoke little Japanese yourself at the time. Now the mystery is solved in the nicest possible way :). I already read about restoring a house in Shikoku in the wonderful "Lost Japan", by Alex Kerr, another Japanophile American. Looking forward to learning about your next adventures.

[@Domi3454]

Love the new house, so many possibilities 🎉

[@kimfarrah6097]

🥰Very happy for you both!!! congratulations on creating a beautiful dreamy life together! miss you!

[@thatslifecaro1479]

so happy for you and Mr Nakamura! I'm looking forward to see what you will both make of this huge property: :)

[@chang1865]

Congrats on your marriage! I really like your storytelling style. Appreciate you sharing your life stories and ponderings.

[@CB-sx8xh]

What a beautiful new adventure! I do hope your old house has a chance to welcome a new beginning for someone too.

[@giancork1656]

Natsukashii..... I have the fondest memory of my times in Shikoku (been twice there already). And I will surely visit again on my third trip, whenever that will be. Thank you for the videos and Omedetou to you and Mr. Nakamura!

[@mgoldfield5821]

Can’t wait to see what you guys do with that garden and property. Two creatives in a beautiful spot, what a treat.

[@Shaz221]

This was deeply heartwarming ❤ so happy for you and your new adventure ahead looks amazing

[@bitsii]

Thanks Sharon ❤😊

[@sensuh9791]

Loved this video so much, this property is even more magic than the old one. This would be a hard work but I’m sure it will be 100% worth, can’t wait for updates 🎋

[@BeatrixBetwixt]

Congratulations to you both. How wonderful! What a beautiful area and I look forward to all the things you do at your new home.

[@lashazachariah5495]

Finally I have time to catch up with Sister Bitsii videos ✌🏼it’s been a long minute. Wow, I’m loving this new home of yours and all that it has to offer. You & Mr have been working so hard! Congratulations and looking forward to more videos. I’ll definitely check out the real estate.

[@sutthirak]

Wow! This is an amazing story.

[@ollietheartist1719]

This is amazing Bitsii ❤ look how much has changed in such a short time ❤ so happy for you ❤

[@Ben-nx6pd]

You are living my absolute dream. What a beautiful life. Mr Nakamure seems to be everything you could want from a partner; honest and hardworking.

[@snackbunnykorea]

Thank you for your channel! I love Shikoku

[@lavrynthos]

Hey! Congratulations on your nuptials!!!!

[@42apprentice]

How wonderful that two kindred spirits have found each other, I wish you both joy in your new life together.

[@42apprentice]

PS I too have rice fish here in my garden Scotland

[@WaltherLigtvoet]

Congratulations!

[@raithebatou]

Congratulations on all counts :) lots of work, but very worth it! and thanks for the video and links

[@W4ABN]

Beautiful home and great land to grow on in both ways of vegetation and your lives together. If i knew how to speak Japanese, I think it would be cool to find short term rentals like your first house as a way to get immersed in the language. Hope you find someone to take care of that home too. Thanks for sharing. Look forward to seeing the property transform over time.

[@WMARUoriginal]

Wonderful update, so very happy for you! Thank you so much for sharing.

[@HallaDita]

Congratulations. The country house looks fine and the garden has such a nice potential :-) I am excited for your updates and garden building :-)

[@WendyInCollingwood]

Hello from Georgian Bay, Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 Your video showed up in my feed ! Impressive, idyllic county-side to express your authentic artistic endeavours as you create your new homestead ! All the very best as you move forward and grow 💞

[@marygeorge2467]

Wow. Just subarashi! Congratulations on so many levels . . . meeting a kindred spirit, moving to such a lovely home, never losing the dream and having the patience and fortitude to tend all that beautiful earth around you. An entomologists dream, too! And thank you for that link. If I ever find an abandoned home in Japan to spare, it will be thanks to you and Mr. Kerr. Kanpai! 🥰🐐🦋🕷🪳🐞🌸🌳🌱🌻🌺🥝

[@Mandydailyblog]

welcome to shikoku❤ congratulations, i live here too, my late husband ran an organic farm, i still live on the farm and have mountain land in central shikoku too ❤

[@cecilearquette1637]

So nice you two found each other!

[@FatMamaVlogs]

Im insanely jealous! Congratulations!

[@treenbean8013]

What a lovely video and congratulations! So excited to see how you, Mr. Nakamura, your new home, and the mountain side grow and change together! ❤

[@PaulLacey-d5e]

I'm so happy for you guys. Also, that's my dream house. I Study permaculture too as well.

[@tedlasalvia9668]

Congratulations on getting married to Mr. Nakamura, Bitsi! I've been following your journey since you first came to Japan and renovated your original house. I was contemplating visiting Japan at the time and was finally able to go last June with my daughter. Our next trip will be to other Cities and to the countryside. I especially love your focus on a more nature harmonious lifestyle. You've given me a lot to think about, and I admire your journey. While I plan on traveling when I retire, I plan on traveling for the long term as an expat, and I'm hoping to have my own epiphany on life. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us!

[@BackRoadsAndTurbos]

Great video. You guys should consider getting a goat sooner than later if you want to clear land - they'll do a great job of it and will make the subsequent work easier.

[@-martilife-]

Congratulations on your wedding ! Your new home and surroundings are stunning !! Also thanks to your channel I finally bought tickets for a trip to Japan for 2024, this first trip will not take me to Shikoku, but it will certainly be the destination of the next one. I'm also an architect, I work in a big city that I hope to leave to return to nature, so I look at you and dream a little hoping it can become reality sooner or later.. I wish you all the best !

[@dionelr]

Congrats! So happy for the next chapter in your story. Looks like you have a ton of new projects to do and learn from.

[@abigailpip112]

Wow, that's a beautiful place. Best wishes for your restoration and business ideas
