One year of life in the Japanese countryside

This feels like those studio Ghibli movie still shots where, you just saw the world of it gliding through time.

An hour long vid from MaigoMika? Is this Christmas?😁 Can't wait!

This little corner of the world you've carved out for yourselves is almost too special to share. I'm very grateful you chose to share this with all of us.

I love the sound of summer in Japan. The birds, the cicadas and so on

Omg seeing Pancake growing up so fast makes my heart melt.❤

I'm in love with the life you've created for yourself in Japan. Visiting and backpacking for like 4 months in the Japanese countryside is a dream I've had since I was a child. The way you capture the essence of life over there just makes me yearn for something I've never experienced outside of media. Mahalo nui loa for sharing your journey with us.

Maigomika videos are my therapy from living in the dirty noisy city of Los Angeles. In 5 years, I will retire to Japan. Thanks for another video.

This is absolutely what Animal Crossing would look like irl, so relaxing to watch 😍

The quiet sounds and bits of candid dialogue are so soothing. Thank you for sharing bits of your life in the countryside.

One hour of pure bliss for a city dweller. That pup is everything ❤️

These videos bring me so much joy and comfort. I’m so excited to settle in and watch this hour long treat. Thanks for sharing so much with your community.

ジブリの物語の中にいるみたいで心が安らぎます😊

観ている私まで、幸せな気持ちになります。ありがとうございます😊

I looked forward to the videos. My old 16 year old cat used to cuddle in comfort watching before she passed. I love watching your videos as calming and educational as they are. The slice of life is a nice change.

What a great video. It must have taken a long time to edit. I'm sure living in the countryside is difficult, and yet you both make it look effortless. I'm really enjoying your content, and especially watching Pancake grow up in this video was so wonderful. Thanks, Mika-san!

Thank you so much for posting this very wonderful and therapeutic video for all of us to watch! I enjoyed every second of it! Hope you and your partner and Pancake are thriving and doing well. ❤

All this footage was wonderful with my coffee this morning. I can't get over Pancake's transformation! Congratulations on your first year, guys!

One of a kind, very special movie. I smiled throughout the entire video lol, thanks for making this and look forward to next years❤

it has been a pleasure to have found your channel a few months ago, and binge-watched up to your recent uploads. Watching you turn this abandoned house, into a home, has been wonderful. It is a peaceful, but hard-working lifestyle that is so interesting to get an insight into. I'd love to see more about your day-to-day lives and how you make your livelihoods to support this peaceful life. The work you two do outside of the house and yard. But as always, thank you for your hard work in making these videos for us all to enjoy!

Pure bliss Beautifully shot and edited Perfect sound track What a great gift to your viewers Thanh you!
