An abandoned house is a common sight here in the Japanese countryside of Ehime Prefecture, Japan.

  1. Your videos bring me back so hard. At the start of the pandemic I was in an Airbnb in Shodoshima on Shodo island in the Seto inland sea just hanging out. I got 'stuck' there for 6 months because I couldn't fly home, you couldn't fly anywhere for just random travel. It was the best 'stuck' of my life. It was so wonderful 'pretending' to live there. I think Shodoshima is right opposite your new place, if I recall something you said in one of your videos, the views and vibes are SO familiar. 👍

  2. Wonderful pairing of musical artist with your film; from another of his songs, Mushina, partial lyrics:

    Because of the humid summer, the old signs
    flake off rust, though they're still not completely red.
    The runaway kid with a key in his fingers
    rattles it along the fence; the rust comes off again…
    Now the summer has gone and the old sign rusts away, it's duty finished.

    Nostalgically, it prompted me to reconnect to music I listened to in Japan in the mid-1970s by Yosui Inoue (Kokoro Moyou, etc), which I've not heard in decades – pleasantly loosening up some of my own rust to peek at the past. Arigato, ne!

  3. 💗Thank you for this beautiful video again. My hope is that more and more young families continue to move back into these abandoned houses and villages. And what a breathtaking view ❣️❣️

  4. Love it. I’ll be there soon doing the same. I hope Japan doesn’t get filled with people who get over exited and ruin the rules coz of the influx of rude westerners. Gotta do it with passion and integrity. Love your videos and hope to hang out one day. Peace and love from down under

  5. Í feel… like you could write script or something about the happenings in that kind of place, from small things such as Arriving, looking around, moving in, looking around, meeting people,.. but make it Disney or Anime like as possible. then Slightly act them out.
