I got a free vacant house ( akiya ) in the inaka countryside of Shikoku, Japan. It is a Showa-era farmhouse with traditional tatami rooms and fusuma sliding doors. I'm a former career interior designer (American certification/license), and now I'm a foreigner living in Japan. This project will embrace the Japanese 'Mottainai' principal, reusing as much as possible.

Absolutely stunning! ✌️👏🇯🇵
I'm so excited to see this video! I'm from Ehime & just visited Sadamisaki in June!
It's one of my favourite places to visit! I used to drive there with my friends often when I was a university student many years ago. But after Shimanami Kaido's opening, people started to visit Shimanami instead. Thank you so much for showcasing the beautiful part of Ehime!
well done. cant wait to visit. better get my japanese up to scratch
I just mini binged several of your videos. Your voice is so calm that watching and listening to your videos provides a sense of solace.
Such a relaxing and beautiful video, amazing place 😍 Your voice is so smooth, like asmr 😄
I was in Japan 2 months ago and while I really loved the busy streets of Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto, I also enjoyed walking around Kawaguchiko when it was almost fully empty of tourists. I live in a small country in Europe, so I usually want to see big cities but it felt so peaceful there. I really want to move to Japan in the near future and when I will get there, I'll definitely go around to explore smaller towns and less touristy places.
I've been following you on Instagram, and have been subscribed, here, also, but YT hasn't been informing me of your new videos, and I'd missed this one until I saw your post on IG that mentioned it. I'm grateful that I took the time, as it is a very beautiful, calm, experience. Thank you!
Thank you for taking us on your trip. It looks so green and relaxing over there on Sadamisaki Peninsula. I put it on my To Go list, just in cases. bye 🙂
I cycled along the peninsula last year. It is beautiful!
Sounds lovely. I love slow quiet places, love to hike and eat local food.
Very high quality shots 👌
Your videos are so lovely 💕 Looks like a really nice place to visit.
How beautiful. I’d love to go there for a 4 day weekend. It’s nice to just slow down and be. Thank you for sharing.
This whole video is like a dream! Your voice+the music+visuals are so great! Oh how much I'd like to visit.
So beautiful! I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to visit but I definitely would. The landscape is so familiar to my own in WI. We may not have an ocean, but Lake Michigan sure seems like one sometimes
That shot alone in the first 30s with the fishing boat crossing the bay was SO worth it. So tranquil!
Bitsii, you did a great job of filming and describing this beautiful area of Japan. I find it interesting to see just how many wheat flour products their bakers make. e.g. western loaves of bread but with a Japanese touch. Plus the Japanese food is beautifully presented just like everywhere in Japan. I now have to look where this peninsula is on a map. I gather it's in the southern area as the vegetation is thick and lush.
Look´s like a great place to visit.
Went to Sadamisaki in 1990s. My brother in law who is Japanese was holding an ocean camp for children and our two boys participated too. Glad you have captured the beauty and charm of the place in your recent video. Thank you.
Fantastic as always! Thanks for the video.
So nice! I bicycled from Misaki port to Yawatahama in November last year (arriving from Oita on the ferry). I ended up taking "the scenic route" along the southern coastline, and while quite hilly it was a lovely day. I wish I could have spent a bit more time and biked out to the cape.
I loved this video so much, one the most relaxing, inspiring and beautifully shot travel videos out there. I honestly can't wait to visit Japan again, and hopefully I will be able to include Ehime prefecture to the itinerary. Better brush up my Japanese!
Pain Maison is known as the place of origin for “shio-pan” the salted bread, that has been popular about for these 10 years all of Japan.
Shikoku is such an odd part of Japan in that it doesn't seem to be really be part of the the 'tourist' path? Even if you were to do something like head from Hokkaido down to Okinawa, a lot of people would just skip all of Shikoku. I mean even I've never been there and my family is in Kansai.
This looks like a dream! So gorgeous. This might have solidified that I want to learn Japanese so I can get by if I visit rural areas. And yes, this place is going on my bucket list!
( : my kind of place. !
I returned to Japan in May after 11 years from my first visit which was a school trip and my host family lives in Ehime as well. They were in Shikokuchuo and we explored several areas, but we didn't get to see the more rural areas. I loved the area and can't wait to return 😊
This looks like a truly beautiful place! I hope you make more such local travel videos.
Bucket list is currently being rearranged
Wonderfully prepared video 😊. Brought back many memories while I was growing up there. Beautiful view of coastlines, refreshing sea breeze, delicious seafoods & very tasty oranges,etc. I have been living in California for many years now,but still look forward to go home to my home town in Misaki (Ikata).
Sadamisaki reminded me of CA too ☀️
@5:05: You got to see an _Anaguma_ , a Japanese badger! Could you get close? How did it react to noticing you? So cool, very jealous...
That part of Ehime does look spectacular (I am in love with the Seto inland sea in general), I can see how it would be awesome to explore on a motorbike (Japanese and their mountain roads... nuts). Thanks for the tour, E
Great video B!
Thanks Kyle
Beautiful video.
This is all so beautiful! I was supposed to explore some of Shikoku in 2021, but obviously that trip had to be canceled 😅😅 this makes me even more excited for when I get to next go back!
Great videos. Keep 'em coming.
Bitsii, Good day-you shared top picture~ adios,))
What a wonderfull video! Thank you.
Having spent a one-week vacation in Shikoku, I cannot but second what you say about the island, its atmosphere, and the locals: everything is still true even in the way less remote places I visited at that time.
You visited Shikoku!!! How great, (and rare 😆)! Thanks for joining.
@@bitsii thank you for replying! 🥰 and thanks for your lovely videos.
I will be following the itineraries you suggested. Thanks!
Amazing. Hard to believe such a slow place still exists. I’m gonna have to get one of these buckets people talk about, so I can put my list on it.
Beautiful place.
Where in Japan is this? A map would have been helpful.
What about cost of staying there?
Oh my goodness, this is exactly the kind of vacation I'd want to enjoy when visiting Japan! What months would you recommend a visit to this area?
Spring and fall. Enjoy! 🙂
@@bitsii thanks for the heads up!
Well, I've been in non touristic places of Japan before. Can recomend any of them. If you try to learn and use some Japanese and know how to find places that sell food, which may be a bit tricky. Also, Japanese roads are great for bycicles, just be careful on blind turns and when it's dark

Hi, just read the msn article about your move to Japan and it kinda seemed like maybe you wouldn’t make videos anymore? I’ve really enjoyed your videos so here’s hoping you’ll keep going, even if the subject matter changes.
I will keep making videos, but I'm just very busy right now! Moving, married, quit my day job all at the same time. I'm working on the next video right now. :) Thank you for checking in!
I have two questions, do you have any info on obtaining long term residency in Japan, I would probably like to spend up to six month every year there as a US citizen. A big part of living overseas for me is to focus more on my health, walking more and eating a lot of fresh fruits and fish. How expensive are things like mangoes, pineapples, oranges? I know you can usually find fruits and veggies cheaper in the countryside than from the supermarket.
By the way, how wide is this peninsula? I've seen it on the map and it was a bit tiny...decievingly so, likely
I'm an american looking to move to the japanese inaka long term. I already speak japanese and just got back from a month in japan which was mind-blowing. Anyways I have a question. What are you doing visa-wise? How are you able to live in your akiya in Shikoku like that? Do you do remote work online? If you could answer, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!
My recommendation is to get a job teaching english on the JET program. It's the best way to get your foot in the door. ;)
@@bitsii I'll definitely consider it. Is that what you're doing right now?
Not anymore, but I did for about two years.
When I return to visit Japan in the future, I do want to escape the bigger cities for a while, possibly on a motorcycle, but for me, food is an issue that concerns me, as I'm an ovo lacto vegetarian. So how easy is it to find sustaining meat (and, unfortunately, fungus!) free meals and snacks in the countryside? If I could make my requirements understood, is there a willingness to adjust or adapt meals to accomodate my quirks? Thank you for your wonderful videos, as ever!
I searched but couldn't find a thing online. I have gluten intolerance and am vegan. Same journey to find places I can eat.
I have been to Japan as a vegan and while it's super easy in the bigger cities to find plenty of yummy options, in the countryside areas, my sister and I just bought food from the grocery store to make our meals. They're not really big on altering a set dish on a menu, so it can be a little tricky going to a regular restaurant with food restrictions. But supermarkets are great for those small town situations :) You can usually get a quick snack at a convenience store as well, like a salted rice ball or some packaged fruits and veggies, chip, etc and have yourself an easy picnic.
@@fallowtheleader That's how I survive all 😂 if you count on eating out all the time it's a different journey.
Do you have any information on getting long term visas in Japan?
Yeah! Here are some qualified sources that can give you proper information:

@@bitsii Thank you Bitsii. Growing up my sister's nickname was Bitsy.
then, are you sure it's a good idea to advertise that place ?
The town appreciates tourism. 👍
@@bitsii I meant you talk about it like it's great it does not attract mass tourism and such
