Micaela ミカエラ Looks like a charming town! I'd like to see a bit of the countryside - any hiking, biking trails, fun outings in the area. In the meantime, enjoy your time there! 😊
I really want to see the rice fields and the old houses. I love vids where the cameraman just film whats in front of him while exploring the countryside. maybe places that is new to him aswel. maybe you could do a vid like that? I also really want to hear about school at the countryside :) bw I just love your house!
Wow, You are in Aya Micaela. I live in Aya and I've been watching your video all the time to brush up on my English. I'll call out when I see you in the town.
Ohh watching this video... makes me inspired....!!! I love nature too, fresh vegetables,😌 this video pushing me to go out and discover more something new outside! Thank you micaela.🙏🏻🤗
you seem so happy and refreshed being in this new environment, I'm so happy for you :D can't wait for the next video! :) Those fresh veggies and fruit got me soooo hungry now!
I want to know about the local myths and legends of that town. I grew up in a rural town and the best thing was always the local folklore. If you ask them point-blank a lot of them may not have a story to tell; the trick is to instead ask about the reason or history behind the names of notable places in the area.
This is the side of Japan I would love to learn about most! If I were to ever move there, I would prefer a small town like that(I'm from a small town in Louisiana, USA). I'm so looking forward to your videos while you're there! 💖
I agree. I live in a small town in Massachusetts. I totally "get" that Tokyo is (and has) everything, but I can imagine myself in a small town like that much more readily. It just looks so comfortable to me.
I love this video so much! I am applying for the JET program this year and I have been a little worried about being placed in the countryside. This looks so peaceful, though, and I love that everything is made local. The community feeling was received very well through the video. I am looking forward to your videos while you're in Aya!
Thank you Micaela for showing us around Aya. I enjoyed seeing and learning about everything in your vlog. I hope you enjoy your stay in Aya. I think having your pets with you will help you feel more at home. I look forward to your next vlog! Thumbs up!
I lived in Aya for 14 years, from 1987 to 2001. I worked in the Board of Education office at the Kominkan/Bunka Hall. I was the English teacher slash International Relations guy. I translated the town homepage, but clearly when the office updated it they deleted all the English pages. I used to live right across the block from the city hall building. My in-laws still live right there. If you're interested, there are many English books available at the Miyazaki Prefectural Library. It's abotu half an hour into the city. Good luck living there, I'm sure you'll love it.
I loved this video! Thank you for sharing more of Japan with us. I am glad the fur kids are settled down in their 'new' home for now. Can't wait to see what else you get into. The little town is gorgeous!
Very good video. How peaceful it is to live in Aya village far from craziness in the big cities. Hope you enjoy your stay and post new videos from Miyazaki.
This is amazing such a bold move to explore outside your comfort zone but ice cream and dirt neighbors seem to help out majorly :3 thanks for sharing this awesome experience can't wait to see the next one!!
Thanks for sharing Aya with us! I'm so glad Lon and Kit could join you on your adventure. I would spend all my money on the ceramics and produce there. Wishing you guys all the best! My mom's family is kind of from the inaka, Yamaguchi-ken, and I find it more relaxed and friendly in the countryside.
Micaela!! I've missed these types of videos from you!! I love it when you travel to different parts of Japan (especially the countryside) and show us all sorts of neat and interesting things!! Looking forward to more videos from Aya!!
The countryside in Aya reminds me of the countrysides in Washington state. Very relaxing and quiet. I know you posted this video years ago...but I hope that you had a great time there!
OHMYGOSH!! This video was SO good! It's so nice to see a different side of Japan. Like, I would definitely want to visit here. It seems very homey and neighborly. Although it made you anxious, I'm glad you took the jump and went. You really look like you're enjoying yourself in your pictures and updates. Can't wait for the next video!!
This looks like the perfect place. I love that you can walk to get fresh homegrown foods at a decent price. The area in general is beautiful. Your place looks clean and comfotable despite being small. I look forward to seeing more videos about life there.
Exciting! More adventures with Micaela in Japan! My boys and I love your videos, even my husband has watched some of them. I am especially interested in your country side venture as my ancestors came from a small farming village in Japan. Can't wait to see more, cheers!
Love the video! Love seeing life in rural Japan. I grew up in rural Canada (about 1200 in my hometown) and am always drawn back to small places. Great to see your video!
It looks really beautiful there. Since they make their own produce perhaps they'd be keen to show you how to make some pottery or farm some food! Also glad to see your pets seem to be happy in their temporary home.
It looks so beautiful and peaceful there 😍 And all the amazing food at the market 😄 Hope you'll have an amazing time in Aya and I look forward to more videos from your life there 😊
I love the peacefulness of countrysides. When I lived in UK i'd take day trips to small towns and check out whats available. Some of my best trips. Been keeping up with your Instagram posts. Glad to see a longer video :)
Your relationship with your babies remind me of mine! I have a cat and dog who mean the world to me and have been there through all the changes and hard times in my life! When things get hard I hold my dog and say "we're going to be okay" just like you did lol I know that's off subject but I just had to mention it :)
Goodness! I love your life changes! I feel like you're a little bit more at peace now that you're settled into yoir new place! It looks absolutely adorable. I love Japanese smalltowns and actually lived in a couple during my WWOOFing adventure in Japan. Now, I really want to visit Aya! it looks so pretty and I love all the local aspects of it. I am looking forward to part two and can't wait to follow you along for the next month! 🌷💞
You must've put so much effort into putting both English and Japanese subtitles! Thank you for your hard work!:) Japanese countryside is insane! Ayamachi is beautiful. Countryside is less crowded so whenever I go to my hometown, which is countryside, I can chill out and feel more relaxed :3〈I don't have to think about a lot of things) 綾町に住んでいる人に綾町のいいところについてぜひ聞いてほしいです！
ok i love the lipstick shades youve been using and your makeup was on point!! ive been a subscriber for a long time, but never really said much. thank you for your videos and the work you do. It's always interesting to see what you're doing in Japan and appreciating everything beautiful in that country. your cooking stuff is always amazing and i look forward to them all the time!
i just moved from the Big City i was born in Mexico to the Countryside in France, and i totally relate! i am lucky enough to be with my amazing husband and his family that welcome me so nicely in their house, but the change is huuugee from having everything i wanted to do or eat or buy to having to take the road to the nearest city and adapt to what you find there. I started vlogging about all of this on my channel, more like a kind of diary to re watch it later and remember the feeling of moving here.
I'm so happy you are in Miyazaki! I was there last year and it's a beautiful prefecture. I was just planning to do a 3 month relocation there next year. I hope you have a wonderful adventure!
I really loved watching this. I've wanted to visit Japan for a long time, and I think I'd definitely want to spend time in the countryside. Pleasantly eye opening!
I totally get what you mean with the whole "dirty carrots" thing! I lived with my grandparents during my childhood, and I would do the exact same thing. The flavor is so nostalgic.

I want to see the rice fields grow and of course make friends with the locals ( invite them over for tea ).
I would love to see more on Aya's craftsmen. I love learning about people that love what they do.
Possibly, it would be interesting to know what the locals think of living in the countryside and why they choose it over living in the city. ^_^
You don't sugar-coat life, yet your videos always make me feel like everything will turn out okay. It's weirdly reassuring.
ikr i love her videos
This is so lovely~!! Hope you guys have an amazing, relaxing time there😊🌤🌲✨
i am so glad you sent me so much tea last year because I'm still drinking it and I brought a lot of it with me.
Micaela ミカエラ
滞在中に 現地ならではのおいしいお茶にも
巡りあえると良いですね☕💕
Lovely video! Such a fantastic opportunity. I wish it was my family that was getting the chance to do this. Looking forward to future episodes!
Life Where I'm From hey! i absolutely adore your kids and videos! if you do get an opportunity like this, make videos about it!!
Wow, You are in Aya Micaela.
I live in Aya and I've been watching your video all the time to brush up on my English.
I'll call out when I see you in the town.
Ohh watching this video... makes me inspired....!!!
I love nature too, fresh vegetables,😌 this video pushing me to go out and discover more something new outside!
Thank you micaela.🙏🏻🤗
I'm so glad to hear that. It's very refreshing to get outside and explore. Go! GO!
Micaela, once again you've proven happiness is not what's on the outside but what's in you. You'll be fine no matter where. Best wishes.
This and Wolf Children makes me want to go live in the Japanese Countryside :)
Barbs B same

BooBarr I agree, would be cool to hear the local stories of the land~
That's a wonderful idea 💖

ミカエラさんの英語は聞き取りやすいです。僕にとって、難し過ぎず、易し過ぎず、ちょうどいいリスニング難易度で、これを視聴しているとリスニング力がアップしそうです。
Such a nice and calming video to watch in the morning. Looks like a wonderful place.
thankyou verymuch！come back to Aya town! see you again! good luck!
I am so envious of you!!!! Always love the countryside with fresh clean water / air. Kit looked so at home.
I didn't realise how much I'd missed your voiceovers! Best of luck on your adventures in Aya, I look forward to watching them. xx
You need your own travel show on Discovery Channel or something. I really enjoy your travel clips because they're different and high quality.
I loved this video! Thank you for sharing more of Japan with us. I am glad the fur kids are settled down in their 'new' home for now. Can't wait to see what else you get into. The little town is gorgeous!

This is so exciting to watch. Apart from the bustling city life this is a nice change. Something new to explore. Hope you're enjoying your time there.

外国の方にこんなに日本をPRしていただける事はすごくありがたいです。ありがとうございます。
Love the video! Love seeing life in rural Japan. I grew up in rural Canada (about 1200 in my hometown) and am always drawn back to small places. Great to see your video!
都会も良いけど田舎も良い
たまに都会の喧騒から離れて静かな田舎で一人暮らししたくなる衝動に駆られます
田舎っていいですよね👍
Aww your house looks so cute. Have a lovely time in the countryside. You deserve it. ❤
Your dog is so adorable!!! Thanks for the bideo.
I've been subscribed to you for some time now, but this sounds like a great adventure which I'll be following very closely!
Awesome little town, reminds me of a small town down the road from where I live in Alaska. Great video Micaela.
It looks really beautiful there. Since they make their own produce perhaps they'd be keen to show you how to make some pottery or farm some food! Also glad to see your pets seem to be happy in their temporary home.
this looks like such an amazing little village :D my dream place i think!
It looks so beautiful and peaceful there 😍 And all the amazing food at the market 😄 Hope you'll have an amazing time in Aya and I look forward to more videos from your life there 😊

Miyazaki was one of my fav prefectures.... I remember the beach and the ppl were so friendly. There were those expensive mangoes.. Fond memories...
Your relationship with your babies remind me of mine! I have a cat and dog who mean the world to me and have been there through all the changes and hard times in my life!

田舎の 忙しくない感じ いいですね。
最近一番困っているのは、カフェやレストランが５時までしかやってないこと。笑 夜は、みんな家に帰るみたいです。
私は都市生活から田舎生活に行くのに6週間かかることを学んだ
ちょっと勇気を出して、スナックやバーに行ってみたら？ｗ
I'm so happy you are in Miyazaki! I was there last year and it's a beautiful prefecture. I was just planning to do a 3 month relocation there next year. I hope you have a wonderful adventure!
I found this really interesting. Another side of Japan. Looking forward to part 2. :)
What a cute little town!
Good luck on this adventure! :D
I love the Japanese countryside so cozy, calm and the obaachans are so cute!
Good luck! It's a great experience :) wish you fun and good memories!
I really loved watching this. I've wanted to visit Japan for a long time, and I think I'd definitely want to spend time in the countryside. Pleasantly eye opening!
Ganbatte Micaela! New things always makes me nervous too, but the result of it is a new adventure! Plus you have 2 great companion with you.
Aya looks like such a refreshing place to live! I'm excited to watch you journey in Aya. :)
I totally get what you mean with the whole "dirty carrots" thing! I lived with my grandparents during my childhood, and I would do the exact same thing. The flavor is so nostalgic.
OMG how incredible! Hope u have a great experience!
Ahh this looks so lovely and a (somewhat) relaxed lifestyle!
Wow!! The house you're staying in looks amazing! I'm glad you got to bring Kit and Lon along! I can't wait for the rest of this series! :)
Really nice video, looking forward to next one! :))
I love this it's so beautiful and informative
Super jealous of your neighbors! Seriously living the dream :)
Ahhh that house is so nice. I love cosy traditional homes man.
Your cooking is amazing as always, I can feel that it tastes amazing too😍 Hope you can relax there far from bigger cities!🌱🌱🌱
