    That was by far the best video I’ve seen of a foreigner doing permaculture in Japan. Byron was well spoken with a wealth of knowledge and experience. I’ve been living in Japan almost as long as Byron and moved here with a strong desire to do something very similar. But I never could find the right property and eventually I stopped growing rice and wheat and everything else. I definitely miss it and may do so again one day, but I’ve since built a wonderful life around other equally important things and I’m not sure if I still have the drive and commitment to build such a beautiful place. But I have the utmost esteem for Byron and all the amazing things he’s accomplished🙏much love and respect from Miyazaki

    This video beautifully captures the transformation of an abandoned Japanese village into a thriving permaculture paradise. It’s inspiring to see how sustainable practices can breathe new life into forgotten places. The blend of traditional techniques with modern permaculture principles not only honors the village's history but also creates a vibrant ecosystem. A true testament to resilience and innovation!

    Byron, I know exactly what you mean when you laughed and said you'd probably build a tiny home and call it good, and wouldn't recommend the process to anyone else. But keep at it, brother, and enjoy. I am at the end (?) of 20 years of building a place in Alaska and though I am well into being a 'senior citizen,' I am now sitting in the living room of a beautiful timber home on a ridge overlooking mountains and the sea in every direction, eating at a table I built myself of wood from trees from the property. The process makes absolutely no sense, takes all your time, money, effort, and a huge chunk of your life - and in the end, it is the song you have made of your life. Sing.

    Great to see such an honest interview. I've been renovating an Akiya and building a permaculture garden in Kyushu for 3 years. It's been a great experience but so many more challenges than expected. Even with a background as a landscape gardener /horticulturist.

    I have lived in Japan for twenty years now. I like the interest in gardening that many Japanese have. Yes, you can get just about anything in the grocery stores but many still take the time to grow vegetables. My neighbor let's me use her garden and I also help a friend who has a much bigger vegetable garden. I always come home with several boxes of veggies, far more than we can eat, and we share them with neighbors and friends. Although I live almost in the middle of a small city, we have deer that wander in. This year they ate my potatoes down to the dirt hills but the plants came back and are nice and bushy. I bet I will get a good haul.

    Interesting to hear that a lot of people in our generation went off after college to find something to create value. I rarely meet like-minded people, but I do see a lot of our generation coming around to it now. I did that too and learned permaculture, gardening, sustainable living, eco-tourism after working in high demand, high end tourism. And then unlearned some of that, and see the balance to everything now. I think this kind of work is healing society and creating a bit of hope for future generations.

    This is part of the reason the Japanese economy has been stuck in the mud for the past 15+ years. My heart felt heavy at the end of the video. I live in home built in 1899 in Brooklyn. My grandparents didn't take spectacular care of the home. I've had a lot of work to do. I'm developing an organic garden in the backyard for the past 3 years which is why I'm on this channel. I take my hat off to you Byron. You are doing what I've done over the past 3 years to the 100th degree. Your dedication is inspiring. My advice to anyone that wants to live in an old home. Buy the home that you want. Avoid something where you have to do major renovations. It's a major headache. And super time consuming. And can be super expensive. And you are exposed to hazardous materials if you live in the house while doing the work. You cant get the time back that should be spent enjoying the space you are living in. Hes put so much time and effort into this project. I hope he can turn it into some sort of Air BnB again and take advantage of the tourism boom.

    I am so glad you mentioned “round-up” My wife inherited her parents house in Shiga. Wonderful traditional turn of the century house. It has a large area for a garden and I was who excited. Then I learned that if you are not at the top of the hill your water is most likely infused with “Round-up”. Around weed time if you go to the hardware store they will have huge displays of liquid weed killer. They buy it up and use it. So although the run off that comes through our yard is a nice thought…. THe ground is saturated with that shit. Oh yeah, if that isn’t a suck they (and I saw many) have giant wasps. I mean they are larger than humming birds. oh and then the centipede things that have a thousand legs and bite. You are supposed to burn them if you catch one. Because if you smash them they release a hormone that attracts more of their friends…. I learned the hard way that they are attracted to waxy hair stuff.

    1st .. I want to say .. thank you for letting us tour some very authentic Japanese style homes .. It's fascinating to see how these places are built. 2nd .. regarding the deer .. I've tried many things .. and I haven't tried what I'm going to tell you about .. but I have a friend who says it's working! Collect a bunch of eggs and let them rot a bit .. then spread them around the area you want to protect from the deer. Apparently the deer don't like the rotten egg sulfur smell. 3rd .. I live in southwestern Arkansas .. lots of old time families who have their own way of doing things. So when a Korean man came into the neighborhood .. the idea of taking your shoes off before going inside the home .. is not well understood .. and serves as a metaphor for a lot more! I enjoyed my Korean neighbors .. and did a lot to help him set up an irrigation system for his large garden. It's a really nice thing when they end up coming to you when they need to know something important because of the language barrier. We are all neighbors .. as long as we act neighborly!!!

      Since mountains and forests cover 67% of Japan's land, the amount of land available for farming is limited.
      In addition, small-scale farmers take great care in growing their crops, so Japanese fruits tend to be expensive.

COVID (and other lovelies) rise a lot with back-to-school each year. need I mention our nationwide issues re: school shootings - something that doesnt happen in Japan (or any modern civilized society).

    Amazing journey. As you age, other issues will arise (as you noted). And then comes decision time!

    Have you thought about setting up a zone to give the wild things access to something to eat, but not come into the rest of the area? Setup a trailcam could be fun.

    The turkeys seem so aristocratic among the chickens

    • @kasamatsufarms9030

      Yes, the turkeys also protect the chickens from crows and hawks and such. They are such gentle birds, but because they are bigger (and also quite loud), they scare off other prey.
