It's funny, I'm trying to go to university in Japan to study and live there and you managed to do the opposite, you came from Japan to live here.I hope you are enjoying being here.😁
Wow! Being Portuguese I really liked your description about Portuguese people. Arigato! Being in Tokyo I can also say it’s an impressive culture and the people are always so polite 🫶
As a Brazilian, I was really used to seeing Japanese people all around, which isn't that common in Portugal. It's great seeing this kind of content. Now, after five years living here, I stumbled across your channel as I'm planning a visit to Japan, and I have to say: I not only agree with the pros of Portugal, this lovely, charming, incredible country, but I also started to feel a bit proud myself - perhaps my inner Portuguese child is growing 🤣? Arigato for your kind words, and may Portugal thrive through the strength of its people and whoever comes here with good intentions and heart.
Thank you for such a thoughtful and kind message! It’s wonderful to hear how you’ve embraced Portugal and even feel a connection to your inner Portuguese soul. Arigato and wishing you all the best!😊
Beautiful description of the portuguese way of life. But keep in mind that complaining about EVERYTHING is one of our national favorite sports 😂😂😂😂 We love our country deeply, but we only appreciate it when we emigrate to another country and see the differences and start to feel "Saudades" from Portugal 😊 But we love, love, love to complain about every single thing 😂
Portugal is such a beautiful and calm place to live, and as a portuguese, I'm glad you can also see that! We, portuguese people, often forget how beautiful our country is. Thank you for reminding me of that with your videos. Hope you continue to enjoy your life here :)
As a portuguese I love Japan and the japanese. I visited Japan last year and hopefully will go back soon. Japanese are the most respectful people I’ve ever seen. I wish all people visiting or immigrating here were like the japanese. Everyone (including us portuguese) have a lot to learn from japanese people and society.
Thank you so much ! It means a lot to hear such thoughtful comments from someone who has visited Japan and appreciates our culture. It’s wonderful to see the mutual respect and admiration between Portugal and Japan. I hope you can visit Japan again soon :)
Good morning. I think it's marvellous that you're enjoying the country. If you can, travel around the many cities and let yourself be blown away! Enjoy the different sensations and experiences! Portugal is an ancient country, full of history and nature! Visit Coimbra (home to the oldest university in the country), Tomar (a Templar city), Braga (...) or cross part of the Atlantic Ocean and visit the Autonomous Region of Madeira or the Azores. You'll find sanctuaries - with beautiful, cinematic landscapes. Enjoy life!
Ahaha, to be fair, sometimes we Portuguese also complain about the slowness of social services 😅 but it is to be expected, there are not that many workers there these past year, and also many people have come to live in Portugal recently, so I imagine there is a lot more work compared to before. Still i am happy you are enjoying Portugal! Have you tried Pastel de Nata / Pastel de Belém? :D
Thanks for your comment! Yes, that change is one of the reason that accelerated the slowness definitely. I heard about it before too. I love Pastel de Belém!! I've been there for many times. My best pastel de nata in the world :)
Continue a gostar cada vez mais do meu querido país Portugal e, que se sinta por cá, muito feliz. Viva a sua vida sem grandes correrias porque ela passa rapidamente e, nós nem temos tempo de ver que ela já passou! Felicidades.
DIscovered your youtube today and I am loving it! And you are right, for us portuguese people this temperature feels really cold! We are used to the hot summer beach days! It would be really cool if you could make some videos in Cascais and Sintra. Cascais has amazing beaches for the summer and Sintra is a magical, forest place (with amazing places to visit).
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m so happy you’re enjoying my videos :) Acutally It’s interesting to see & hear how this weather feels cold for Portuguese people. It really shows how much the warm and sunny climate is a part of your culture!
Congratulations on your content and the objective and impartial way of interpreting the Portuguese way of being. I'm glad you're enjoying Lisbon and Portugal. I hope you live with us for many good years. Just curious, where is this Asian supermarket?
Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement! I’m truly enjoying my time in Lisbon and discovering the beauty of Portugal. It’s such a wonderful place with amazing people!
Great video and I really appreciated your honesty and what you were looking for yourself in your life. I should really take that approach as well. Liked and subscribed. Looking forward to more videos.
I studied at Graça... I'm glad you're enjoying it, despite the cultural differences... the slowness of services and lack of punctuality must make you desperate!!! You are not the only one...😂😂😂
Thank you for your comment! Yes, the slowness of services and lack of punctuality were definitely shocking at first, but I’ve started to adjust... I am trying to think It’s all part of the charm of living here ;)
@@lastnamjaAt first it seems strange, then it becomes part of you...the sooner this happens, the easier it is to live around here!!! Even for us Portuguese who don't always live here, it's like this.Enjoy... WiFi 🫂
I'm glad you enjoy our laid back life style and friendly manners. Portugal, like any other country has its pros and cons, but our relaxed way of life and friendliness towards everyone has always been a good trait indeed. We love to interact with people and welcome everyone who's here with a good mindset like you. We really like to learn from other cultures too and Japan in particular has a lot to teach us as well. Feel free to also share what you like about Japanese culture.
I truly appreciate the warmth and hospitality of Portugal, and it’s wonderful to know that the Portuguese culture values learning from others as well!!
Loved the video , you seem like a good guy to hang around with 😁 we portuguese also make it a point to make that slow life thinking a reality for everyone that arrives so if you enjoy that part of our culture you will be a great fit living here in Portugal! And to be honest , altho we are still a slow life culture i can assure you it got 100 times faster in the last 20 years , 20 years ago in Portugal i can assure you it was anime level slow-life style of living
I really appreciate your perspective on the slow-life culture in Portugal. it’s one of the things I admire most about living here. It’s fascinating to hear how much life has changed over the past 20 years! 😄Thank you for the encouragement, it’s so great to know I’m on the right path here!
Yes, The Portuguese were the first Europeans to arrive in Japan, back in the 16th century. It’s incredible how this connection started such a long time ago and influenced both cultures. Thank you for sharing this interesting fact! :)
Im glad you are having a good time in Portugal, it's not perfect but it could be worse. And yes 14º is kind of chilly for us lol. In Summer, it's often above 40ºs, so I guess we are used to hotter temperatures
Next to Copenhagen Coffee Labo there's a Ramen restaurant called Koppu Ramen that is very well rated. Would like to have your opinion on how It compares to Japanese Ramen. I've been in Japan 3 months ago but only ate Ramen 3 times and they were all different from each other. Can't wait to return there and trymore diverse ramen. Love to see you around
Thank you so much for your comment! I’ve heard about Koppu Ramen and would love to give it a try soon! I’ll share my thoughts once I visit. Ramen in Japan is indeed very diverse, with regional specialties and unique takes from each shop. I hope you can visit again soon and try even more varieties! Let me know your favorites next time.
I'm really enjoying your videos! You mentioned something really funny that I also notice as a Portuguese myself. It is absolutely true that we wear long jackets even when it is already warm. I don't know why we do it, maybe it's because Portugal is a windy country. Sometimes it's really warm in direct sunlight in winter, but then suddenly the sky becomes overcast and the wind picks up, which may feel a bit chilly for us. Then again, yesterday on my morning walk I was sweating under my jacket and still didn't take it off. 😅
Thank you so much for your comment! I totally get what you mean, I’ve had the same experience where I sweat under the jacket but still don’t want to take it off! haha
I really liked the reflection around 8:50 , i think our slow paced lives might come just from traditions, Portugal is a very old and patriotic country and we still hold a lot of values and ways of life from the past, its also always been a decently poor country, so most people dont have the chance to always go shopping and buy new things, which i think why our mentality towards materialism is like this, coming back to the 'living slower/more relaxed', showing less stress and stuff, i dont know if i can accurately translate this but we say "olha, é a vida" which would be directly translated to "look, its life", i guess its similar to "it is what it is", it could also come from the sentiment of 'Saudade', which is a bit hard to explain, but its something thats basically built into our nation, i saw a very interesting video by Mark Manson titled "Understanding the Most Anxious Country in the World" that debunks it a bit and explains how its tied to us portuguese
Thank you for sharing your insights! I really appreciate the perspective you provided. It’s fascinating to think about how Portugal’s rich history and traditional values shape the way people approach life today. The idea of “olha, é a vida” perfectly captures that relaxed, accepting mentality, and I find it very inspiring ;)
I had to comment again, because at the end I got emotional. I lived at one of those buildings surrounding Praça da Alegria with my grandma and parents for the first 4 years of my life. I remember playing at the playground there and even later on as a teen I still went there regularly. It's a really beautiful little square and quite underrated.
What a heartfelt memory... It’s amazing how places like Praça da Alegria can hold such personal significance, and it’s beautiful to hear how it has been a part of your life since childhood ;)
@@lastnamja When I was a kid, the playground wasn't near the café, it was exactly where you were standing when you started shooting the square, so on the opposite end of where it is nowadays. The buildings were recently painted in fresher colours too, but other than that, it is exactly the same as before. I myself was there recently around Christmas, after a nostalgia spell.
It's been interesting to see your exploration of the city and your adaptation to Portugal. 😊 The nearby Chinese groceries stores Supermercado Chen and specially Supermercado Wang have better prices than Amanhecer and even the grocery store Hua Ta Li must have more options for ingredients and snacks. The section of Asian-style tableware at Amanhecer can be useful though (if one wants something beyond the extreme minimalism of the MUJI store).
@lastnamja You're welcome!😊 I hope those suggestions might help. When I get the chance I'd like to return to the big Supermercado Chen near the airport to see if there are any flavours of ramune I haven't tasted yet. 😃 You could always also find Japanese ingredients, snacks, beverages, tableware and cooking utensils at the Japanese grocery store Goyo-Ya but I feel everything is a bit overpriced there.🤔
This is a pretty magical little city :) I don't know if you have tried but the are some very cool other neighborhoods like Alvalade, Benfica, Carnide :) great vibes and less tourists.
Thank you for your comment. Yes I've been to these places and I like every these place :) the mercado in Benfica was cute and the Colombo mall is also my favorite!
Olá Em Lisboa a temperatura é sempre mais alta! Dependendo do ponto do país com essa temperatura podemos ter frio principalmente se há humidade! Agradeço por mostrares uma parte da cidade mais calma! Somos pessoas acolhedoras e normalmente educadas, mas no teu país tem um nível de educação que aprecio em algumas atitudes! A minha cultura é muito diferente da tua. Também já vivi noutro país e a adaptação não é fácil. Espero que consigas gostar de aqui estar, porque não é fácil estar muito tempo noutro lugar, ao fim de algum tempo começa a faltar o ar da pátria! Uma coisa que aprendi ao viver noutro país foi a pontualidade e agora enervar-me quando não são. Quanto ao dolce fare niente nós gostamos. Podemos ser responsáveis mas alegres ao mesmo tempo, deixa os que nos rodeiam mais felizes. Com o tempo aprendemos a ter paciência com o tempo de espera. Um grande abraço desta mãe portuguesa que tem um filho que aprende japonês e gosta de aprender a cozinhar a vossa comida, e eu gosto! Jinhos 🥰🥰🥰
Time is the biggest treasure that people have. Different people have different approaches to their treasures: there are people who are greedy with their treasures, and always want more and more, even if that is not possible or feasible; and there are people who know that their treasures will only help them if they forget about worrying and start experiencing. This is probably not easy to understand when you're young, but since it is something that older people repeat, maybe there is truth to it. Thank you so much for your videos and your fresh look from outside. どうもありがとうございます！
ありがとうございます! I completely agree that time is the greatest treasure we have. People approach it differently, and it's true that the way we value and spend time changes as we grow older. I appreciate you sharing this perspective😊
Hi lastnamja-sun, hajimemashite welcome to Portugal! My wife is a nikkei and we live here in Porto, it's really difficult to find more japanese people in Portugal, most are from Korea and China. I hope more people from Japan come in the future
Hi, thank you so much for your warm welcome! I agree, it would be wonderful if more Japanese people could visit or move to Portugal in the future. I'm really enjoying my time here, and I’m sure more people from Japan will discover this beautiful country as well :)
Obrigado pelas palavras lindas e pela sinceridade sobre lisboa e sobre Portugal. ainda bem que estas a gostar de ca estar, so toma cuidado no bairro dos anjos porque esta a ficar periogoso. conheci hoje o teu canal e gostei da vibe. bom trabalho, e boa sorte.
Thank you so much for your kind words and honesty about Lisbon and Portugal. I’m really happy to hear that you’re enjoying my content and I appreciate the heads-up on Anjos. Best of luck to you too! 😊
Good morning, I loved the video, since you are Japanese I want to ask you about sushi, is there any sushi restaurant that Japanese consider it’s good in Lisbon?
You’re definitely right to move to Portugal where you can find a quieter and more peaceful way to live and especially far from the superfluous needs of a materialistic society that encourages you to consume more and more. Questions: is the cost of living high in Portugal and is it easy to find an apartment to rent? Thanks for your vid 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😍😍😍😍
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment🙏🏻! Portugal truly offers a calmer and more peaceful lifestyle, which I deeply appreciate. The cost of living in Portugal is similar to Japan, but for me as Japanese, only problem is the rent. The rent in Lisbon is more expensive than Japan...!
Olá tudo bem. sou Portuguesa e moro na bela cidade do Porto obrigada por gostares de Portugal já assisti os teus vídeos na cidade do Porto quando quiseres vir outra vez seras sempre vem vindo já me escrevi no canal fca bem até ao próximo vídeo 😊
Olá! Thank you so much for your lovely message and for subscribing to my channel! Porto is such a beautiful city. I really enjoyed visiting, and I’m so glad you liked the videos I made there. I hope to visit Porto again soon...!
Hello! Thank you so much for your warm message. I’m sure you’ll visit Japan one day, and I hope it will be an amazing experience for you. Sending lots of love back to you! ❤
Thank you for your comment. haha now I understand it well. Even though it's relatively warm for some, it can still feel chilly for those who are used to a warmer climate ;)
Very interesting ❤ As a Portuguese, I would love to experience life in Japan...as they say, the grass is always greener on the other side 😊. Usually I find portuguese cities not that beautiful, sometimes dirty and not taken care of, and you like it...makes me wonder how are cities in Japan. Are you from Tokyo? Great to know I can find real Japanese ceramics in Portugal, I may look around when in Lisbon. Thank you ❤ Ah, also, the thing about Portuguese weather and jackets...its true, the jacket is for mornings and afternoons 😅, during the day it gets hot but some people are just too lazy to take the jacket off 😂
hello! i love to hear you liked portugal, it´s really special. i am curious to know if you tried to live in Japan countryside..... or portugal countryside. thank you.
Obrigado! Yes I had lived in many cities in Japan, not typical countryside but suburb areas of main cities. And I have big interest in living in countryside in Portugal :)
🌸🌸🌸 As madrugadas são muito frias, 3°/7° , a maioria mora longe do centro por essa razão temos de os usar ...🫢 Mas sim, de um modo geral os portugueses são muito"friorentos"🌸
Thank you! I’m really enjoying your country so far. I’d love to explore other cities and experience the variety of food and landscapes! thank you for the suggestion! 😊
I’m curious about something… one day a Japanese woman told me the country where she “missed less” Japanese food was Portugal. She was surprised the Portuguese people were also big consumers of fish, seafood and rice, compared to other Europeans… Do you feel that way too? How much do you miss Japanese food in Portugal? (Of course there are Japanese restaurants in Portugal and you can also cook your own meals, but it never tastes the same as in the native country.)
Thank you for bringing up such an interesting topic!😊 I can understand why the woman you spoke to felt that way bc Portugal has a wonderful food culture with many ingredients that feel familiar to Japanese cuisine, like fresh fish, seafood, and rice. The simplicity and appreciation for natural flavors in Portuguese dishes remind me of home in some ways.
There was a considerable influx of Japanese in the 16th century, especially women. Many sailors brought them back to live with as concubines. It became so much of a problem that the clergy of Lisbon wrote to the king asking him to outlaw bringing Japanese female slaves.
Thank you for sharing this intriguing piece of history. It’s both fascinating and unsettling to learn about these interactions during the 16th century. History often reveals both the beauty and the challenges of cross-cultural encounters...!
Thanks for important comment. I learnd about these negative effects before coming here and sometimes post it in other sociat network. I hope you don’t assume that all foreigners are ignorant about gentrification or that they remain silent on the matter.
how about dont come, we already have enough tourists and foreigners to increase the price of apartments witch makes the life of the locals hell to start a life outside the parents home, unless you have money,lots of it.
Thank you for your valuable comment. The cost of living in Lisbon except for groceries, is way higher than in Japan, so Portugal is not a "cheap country" at all for Japanese people. I want to contribute to the Portuguese economy, and I hope you won’t misunderstand and assume that all immigrants are rich and ignorant. I appreciate your precious opinion.
Bagels? Cheesecake? Well, that is not typical Portuguese. 😅 that is meant for digital nomads, aka rich immigrants (that have horror to that word - immigrants- and insist on calling themselves expats😂
Thanks for your comment :) but I didn't say they were Portuguese dishes...I always make an effort to respect and contribute to local businesses. I love Portuguese food and traditional Portuguese sweets, and I actively promote them and how I wanna protect them on other social media platforms. I appreciate your valuable opinion. However, I hope you understand that not all immigrants are wealthy people who are unaware of gentrification.
The guy is living in Lisbon not visiting , with the ammount of options besides typical portuguese dishes its very normal to eat stuff thats not Portuguese. Hell most Portuguese including me only eat typical portuguese food 2 or 3 times a week , and usually im the one cooking them 😂
@@lastnamja dont mind him , he just reflecting his political views on something that has 0 to do with that kind of stuff , keep up the good work on the videos 😁
Yes, in Japan, iced coffee is very popular, especially during the hot summer months. (Korean drink iced coffee more bc they drink it whole year) You can find it almost everywhere, from coffee shops to vending machines.
Adorei o vídeo! Aproveita Lisboa mas não te esqueças de viajar por Portugal ( do Norte ao Sul)! Loved your video. Enjoy Lisbon but please make sure to visit the rest of Portugal ( from the North to the South)! ❤ Please message me if you want some recommendations ❤
Japanese people are always welcome to Portugal. 🤝🏻
Obrigado :) Thanks for warm welcoming!!
It's funny, I'm trying to go to university in Japan to study and live there and you managed to do the opposite, you came from Japan to live here.I hope you are enjoying being here.😁
It must be very exciting and meaningful experience to study in Japan! Wish you the good luck on your study :)

ポルトガルについてこんなに上手に話してくれる日本の方がいるなんて、とても誇らしい気持ちです。日本とポルトガルには歴史的なつながりがありますし、日本人が世界で一番と言っても過言ではないほど礼儀正しい民族だと思うので、より一層光栄に感じます。いつか札幌を訪れるのが私の夢です。どうかここで「自分の家にいるような」気持ちで過ごし、幸せで長い人生を送ってください。

What a heartfelt memory... It’s amazing how places like Praça da Alegria can hold such personal significance, and it’s beautiful to hear how it has been a part of your life since childhood ;)
@@lastnamja When I was a kid, the playground wasn't near the café, it was exactly where you were standing when you started shooting the square, so on the opposite end of where it is nowadays. The buildings were recently painted in fresher colours too, but other than that, it is exactly the same as before. I myself was there recently around Christmas, after a nostalgia spell.
It's been interesting to see your exploration of the city and your adaptation to Portugal. 😊
The nearby Chinese groceries stores Supermercado Chen and specially Supermercado Wang have better prices than Amanhecer and even the grocery store Hua Ta Li must have more options for ingredients and snacks. The section of Asian-style tableware at Amanhecer can be useful though (if one wants something beyond the extreme minimalism of the MUJI store).
Thank you!! I will check the stores you suggested. that's so useful information to me :)
@lastnamja You're welcome!😊 I hope those suggestions might help.
When I get the chance I'd like to return to the big Supermercado Chen near the airport to see if there are any flavours of ramune I haven't tasted yet. 😃
You could always also find Japanese ingredients, snacks, beverages, tableware and cooking utensils at the Japanese grocery store Goyo-Ya but I feel everything is a bit overpriced there.🤔
Liked so much
(: I work in Lisbon for a long time but Yuta you showed places In Lisbon that I can imagine that they exist 😂😂
Thank you for your comment! 😊 Lisbon has so many hidden gems, it’s one of the things I love most about the city.
You're welcome. Have fun (: @@lastnamja
Bem vindo a Portugal, desejo boa sorte, seja feliz.❤
Thank you so much for the warm welcome! I truly appreciate your kind words and well wishes❤
This is a pretty magical little city :) I don't know if you have tried but the are some very cool other neighborhoods like Alvalade, Benfica, Carnide :) great vibes and less tourists.
Thank you for your comment. Yes I've been to these places and I like every these place :) the mercado in Benfica was cute and the Colombo mall is also my favorite!
Olá
Em Lisboa a temperatura é sempre mais alta!
Dependendo do ponto do país com essa temperatura podemos ter frio principalmente se há humidade!
Agradeço por mostrares uma parte da cidade mais calma!
Somos pessoas acolhedoras e normalmente educadas, mas no teu país tem um nível de educação que aprecio em algumas atitudes!
A minha cultura é muito diferente da tua. Também já vivi noutro país e a adaptação não é fácil. Espero que consigas gostar de aqui estar, porque não é fácil estar muito tempo noutro lugar, ao fim de algum tempo começa a faltar o ar da pátria!
Uma coisa que aprendi ao viver noutro país foi a pontualidade e agora enervar-me quando não são.
Quanto ao dolce fare niente nós gostamos. Podemos ser responsáveis mas alegres ao mesmo tempo, deixa os que nos rodeiam mais felizes.
Com o tempo aprendemos a ter paciência com o tempo de espera.
Um grande abraço desta mãe portuguesa que tem um filho que aprende japonês e gosta de aprender a cozinhar a vossa comida, e eu gosto!
Jinhos 🥰🥰🥰
Hello! Thank you for your kind and thoughtful message. I’m doing my best to adapt and enjoy the beauty of Portugal, even though it can be challenging😊
Time is the biggest treasure that people have. Different people have different approaches to their treasures: there are people who are greedy with their treasures, and always want more and more, even if that is not possible or feasible; and there are people who know that their treasures will only help them if they forget about worrying and start experiencing. This is probably not easy to understand when you're young, but since it is something that older people repeat, maybe there is truth to it. Thank you so much for your videos and your fresh look from outside.
どうもありがとうございます！
ありがとうございます! I completely agree that time is the greatest treasure we have. People approach it differently, and it's true that the way we value and spend time changes as we grow older. I appreciate you sharing this perspective😊
Hi lastnamja-sun, hajimemashite welcome to Portugal! My wife is a nikkei and we live here in Porto, it's really difficult to find more japanese people in Portugal, most are from Korea and China. I hope more people from Japan come in the future
Hi, thank you so much for your warm welcome! I agree, it would be wonderful if more Japanese people could visit or move to Portugal in the future. I'm really enjoying my time here, and I’m sure more people from Japan will discover this beautiful country as well :)
I really appreciated this video… I miss Lisbon so much! Obrigada do coração ❤
Obrigado!! I'm glad you enjoyed this vlog ;)
Obrigado pelas palavras lindas e pela sinceridade sobre lisboa e sobre Portugal. ainda bem que estas a gostar de ca estar, so toma cuidado no bairro dos anjos porque esta a ficar periogoso. conheci hoje o teu canal e gostei da vibe. bom trabalho, e boa sorte.
Thank you so much for your kind words and honesty about Lisbon and Portugal. I’m really happy to hear that you’re enjoying my content and I appreciate the heads-up on Anjos. Best of luck to you too! 😊
ヨーロッパ生活10年目ですが自分もスローライフ、海のある生活を求めてリスボンへ移住を検討しています。
ちなみにビザの取得はご自身で行われましたか？
コメントありがとうございます！１０年、、！新参者の私より色々とお詳しいかと思いますが、私はほぼ自力でやりました。ポルトガルのビザは日本には経験豊富なエージェントはいないことと、どこも価格があまりに高すぎたので選択肢に入らずでした。
Bem-vindo, que sejas feliz por aqui. :)
Obrigado! I truly appreciate it and will do my best to make the most of my time here :)
You should go to La Matta in Graça. Best place for pizza!
Thank you so much!! Many people recommended me La Matta, I should go ;)
Muito Bommm,colocou a legenda em Português 🎉
Thank you for checking it! 😊 I hope it is okay haha
Good morning, I loved the video, since you are Japanese I want to ask you about sushi, is there any sushi restaurant that Japanese consider it’s good in Lisbon?
Good morning! Actually I haven't tried any Japanese retaurant yet...but I will introduce via my contents if I find nice one :)
You’re definitely right to move to Portugal where you can find a quieter and more peaceful way to live and especially far from the superfluous needs of a materialistic society that encourages you to consume more and more.
Questions: is the cost of living high in Portugal and is it easy to find an apartment to rent?
Thanks for your vid 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😍😍😍😍
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment🙏🏻! Portugal truly offers a calmer and more peaceful lifestyle, which I deeply appreciate. The cost of living in Portugal is similar to Japan, but for me as Japanese, only problem is the rent. The rent in Lisbon is more expensive than Japan...!
Olá tudo bem. sou Portuguesa e moro na bela cidade do Porto obrigada por gostares de Portugal já assisti os teus vídeos na cidade do Porto quando quiseres vir outra vez seras sempre vem vindo já me escrevi no canal fca bem até ao próximo vídeo 😊
Olá! Thank you so much for your lovely message and for subscribing to my channel! Porto is such a beautiful city. I really enjoyed visiting, and I’m so glad you liked the videos I made there. I hope to visit Porto again soon...!
Welcome to Portugal, come to Seixal if you have a chance.
Thanks for your recommendation :) I am planning to go there this summer!!
Hello!very wellcome!i love love love Japanese culture and people are so polite! My Dreams is to visit Japão one day❤❤❤❤❤.we love you❤❤❤❤❤
Hello! Thank you so much for your warm message. I’m sure you’ll visit Japan one day, and I hope it will be an amazing experience for you. Sending lots of love back to you! ❤
Yes, we feel cold with this temperature 😭
Thank you for your comment. haha now I understand it well. Even though it's relatively warm for some, it can still feel chilly for those who are used to a warmer climate ;)
Very interesting ❤ As a Portuguese, I would love to experience life in Japan...as they say, the grass is always greener on the other side 😊. Usually I find portuguese cities not that beautiful, sometimes dirty and not taken care of, and you like it...makes me wonder how are cities in Japan. Are you from Tokyo? Great to know I can find real Japanese ceramics in Portugal, I may look around when in Lisbon. Thank you ❤
Ah, also, the thing about Portuguese weather and jackets...its true, the jacket is for mornings and afternoons 😅, during the day it gets hot but some people are just too lazy to take the jacket off 😂
Thank you so much for your comment! And about the jackets,,,haha, it's so true! People can be too lazy to take them off, even when it gets hot😊
hello! i love to hear you liked portugal, it´s really special. i am curious to know if you tried to live in Japan countryside..... or portugal countryside. thank you.
Obrigado! Yes I had lived in many cities in Japan, not typical countryside but suburb areas of main cities. And I have big interest in living in countryside in Portugal :)
Verdade tambe sinto isso quando estou e, Portugal o tempo pareci que parou.
Obrigado :) It’s so true! I feel the same way when I’m in Portugal, it’s like time slows down, and I can truly enjoy the moment.
🌸🌸🌸
As madrugadas são muito frias, 3°/7° , a maioria mora longe do centro por essa razão temos de os usar ...🫢
Mas sim, de um modo geral os portugueses são muito"friorentos"🌸
Thank you. Definitely that's the gap I felt here! It's like autumn for Japanse🌸
@@lastnamja Thank you for your love and respect towards my country 🌸🙇🙏
Na zona de Coimbra tem dias agora que a temperatura baixa para -3/-2 à noite.Depende da zona.
ポルトガルの時間はお楽しみください 🤗
ありがとうございます。あなたもすてきな日をお過ごしください🤗
I'm earlyyy! Yay
Yay no.1!! congrats ;)
Congratulations
Obrigado!!
Hope that you enjoy my country. Please visit other cities too. You can find different food and landscapes in other cities :)
Thank you! I’m really enjoying your country so far. I’d love to explore other cities and experience the variety of food and landscapes! thank you for the suggestion! 😊
I’m curious about something… one day a Japanese woman told me the country where she “missed less” Japanese food was Portugal. She was surprised the Portuguese people were also big consumers of fish, seafood and rice, compared to other Europeans… Do you feel that way too? How much do you miss Japanese food in Portugal? (Of course there are Japanese restaurants in Portugal and you can also cook your own meals, but it never tastes the same as in the native country.)
Thank you for bringing up such an interesting topic!😊 I can understand why the woman you spoke to felt that way bc Portugal has a wonderful food culture with many ingredients that feel familiar to Japanese cuisine, like fresh fish, seafood, and rice. The simplicity and appreciation for natural flavors in Portuguese dishes remind me of home in some ways.
@ That’s interesting to know because, before that woman, I would never relate Portuguese and Japanese food…
I live in Lisbon, I'd be grateful to offer you a coffee in downtown Lisbon and meet you! :)
Thanks for your comment! :)
There was a considerable influx of Japanese in the 16th century, especially women. Many sailors brought them back to live with as concubines. It became so much of a problem that the clergy of Lisbon wrote to the king asking him to outlaw bringing Japanese female slaves.
Thank you for sharing this intriguing piece of history. It’s both fascinating and unsettling to learn about these interactions during the 16th century. History often reveals both the beauty and the challenges of cross-cultural encounters...!
international shops in ajos? or indostanic shops in anjos? you should mention natives are leaving lisbon and it has no portuguese soul. nice vid btw
Thanks for important comment. I learnd about these negative effects before coming here and sometimes post it in other sociat network. I hope you don’t assume that all foreigners are ignorant about gentrification or that they remain silent on the matter.
& i hope you also love the one piece... :)
oh...sorry I am not manga lover...but I am glad you love Japanese manga!
caralho bora aí beber uma jola! 🍺
yayyy🍺
Can we change the passport?😂
Haha, thanks for your comment!! You should be proud of being Portuguese, amazing country😀
Are you going to learn portuguese?
Actually I am learning! I hope to talk in Portuguese when I master it ;)
faz um vi a dizer o porque vc decidiu morar em portugal e o que faz
Appreciate your comment! I will talk about it in upcoming contents ;)
how about dont come, we already have enough tourists and foreigners to increase the price of apartments witch makes the life of the locals hell to start a life outside the parents home, unless you have money,lots of it.
Thank you for your valuable comment. The cost of living in Lisbon except for groceries, is way higher than in Japan, so Portugal is not a "cheap country" at all for Japanese people. I want to contribute to the Portuguese economy, and I hope you won’t misunderstand and assume that all immigrants are rich and ignorant. I appreciate your precious opinion.
I was born there 0:40
Thanks for your comment. WOW you were born in such a wonderful place. It feels so dramatic!!
The bild was i born is no longer there im 57 years old and thr place was heaven everythink change !!
Bagels? Cheesecake? Well, that is not typical Portuguese. 😅 that is meant for digital nomads, aka rich immigrants (that have horror to that word - immigrants- and insist on calling themselves expats😂
Thanks for your comment :) but I didn't say they were Portuguese dishes...I always make an effort to respect and contribute to local businesses. I love Portuguese food and traditional Portuguese sweets, and I actively promote them and how I wanna protect them on other social media platforms. I appreciate your valuable opinion. However, I hope you understand that not all immigrants are wealthy people who are unaware of gentrification.
The guy is living in Lisbon not visiting , with the ammount of options besides typical portuguese dishes its very normal to eat stuff thats not Portuguese. Hell most Portuguese including me only eat typical portuguese food 2 or 3 times a week , and usually im the one cooking them 😂
@@lastnamja dont mind him , he just reflecting his political views on something that has 0 to do with that kind of stuff , keep up the good work on the videos 😁
Realmente no vídeo anterior,quando mostrou sua Rotina,estava bem sério,hoje VC sorriu
No Japão também se bebe café gelado,como na Coreia?
Yes, in Japan, iced coffee is very popular, especially during the hot summer months. (Korean drink iced coffee more bc they drink it whole year) You can find it almost everywhere, from coffee shops to vending machines.
Adorei o vídeo!
Aproveita Lisboa mas não te esqueças de viajar por Portugal ( do Norte ao Sul)!
Loved your video. Enjoy Lisbon but please make sure to visit the rest of Portugal ( from the North to the South)! ❤
Please message me if you want some recommendations ❤
Thanks for your comment! Yesss please check my other SNS, I am posting my mini vlogs in other cities ;)
@ great!
Downtown lisbon is more like India or Pakistan nowadays…. , even outside is becoming , you should go Azenhas do Mar
Thanks for your recommendation ;) Azenhas do Mar is now on my wishlist!
