Life on a Remote Japanese Island

I spent one month living on a remote island at the end of Japan.

After living in Osaka for 4 months, K (my husband) and I decided to move to the remote Goto Islands, an archipelago of tiny islands off the Western coast of Japan.
We did not know what we signed up for.
But I hope you enjoy watching us try to adapt to traditional island life, and let us know in the comments if you're from or have lived in rural Japan and what your favourite thing about rural life is!

2:43 Just wanna make a quick correction. It's not even the most Western point in Japan actually. The Ryukyu islands go much much further West. In fact, they span further West than Korea whereas Goto is only at about the same longitude as Busan.

This vlog is like... an Ōtoro Tekkadon bowl, a feast of the highest quality tuna sashimi, visually spectacular and densely packed with top content... woah, spread it out a little, Sunny... 😄
Thank you 🙇‍♂
(I need to rest my eyes now...)

何でも楽しそう。A beautiful island, things and happy have surrounded you.

Wow! Goto is my hometown where I was born and left there at 18 years old. Then, I used to live in NewZealand, Australia and EU.

日本最西端の島は与那国島ですよ。
台湾のすぐ近くです。
沖縄を忘れてますね。

Goto looks so lovely, with the juxtoposition of old and new, but in a much more blended fashion than seeing the townhouses in Kyoto. I think even if I were to live there, I would never get bored of the scenery and atmosphere.

Thank you so much for taking the trip and sharing it with us.

I've stayed in a kominka in Hagi for a few days in late 2022...it's really nice and beautiful...but yes you can hear almost all the noises from the other rooms....even if someone just move something you'll probably hear because it's made up of wood (mostly quite thin) even if you close all the doors (or wall) you can still feel don't know how the people in the past were able to survive living there during winter....

I know this island from the anime called barakamon.
