8 Benefits of Living in the Japanese Countryside | Tokyo
Information | History | View | Sightseeing | Video
As the name of this channel suggests, we live in Tokyo. We like living in Tokyo. It's convenient, interesting, and easy to meet up with people. However... neither of us is the "city type." We don't eat out much (we both love cooking), we don't enjoy high-end shopping or clubbing. I prefer to work at home - and am not such a fan of crowded coffee shops (*gasp* what kind of writer AM I???). My husband was born in Tokyo and moved to the countryside in middle school. I studied abroad for a year and a half in Tokyo in 2011 - 2012. We've both spent quite a bit of time in this city exploring and seeing what it has to offer. And these days, we get tired of city life rather easily. The crowds, the noises, the faceless masses of people, the prices... it just gets old. Gosh, we're like an old married couple. I confess, I don't know how much longer we will stay in Tokyo. Maybe six months. Maybe a year. Maybe five years. Maybe ten years. The joys of being young, dumb, and in love is that you don't really have any responsibilities :) One-time donation (to support the creation of videos): http://howibecametexan.com/donate/ Monthly support via Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TexaninTokyo ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Buy my comic books: https://www.etsy.com/shop/TexaninTokyo My comics (on Amazon): http://goo.gl/5SzZCr My comics (on my blog): http://howibecametexan.com/latest_blog_posts/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ My blog: http://howibecametexan.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TexaninTokyo Twitter: https://twitter.com/texan_in_tokyo

I have no idea if I could handle "serious" Ryosuke. I think my brain would just shut down. Like a defense mechanism.

During their time in the military, both my father and my brother lived in Tokyo. My dad came home to his tiny town in Michigan and immediately got into a car accident turning left at the one traffic light in town into the wrong lane and hit another car.
My brother will not bother to eat tempura in the US because he says Japan ruined it for him. American tempura cannot even come close he says.
When we were little girls, my parents bought 2 season tickets to the ballet in Washington DC and each would take turns taking each of us to a ballet. It didn't occur to me until I was an adult to ask him about that and where he'd gotten his appreciation for the ballet since it wasn't really a part of his upbringing as he has no sisters and ballet isn't really a big thing with guys from mid-Michigan. While in Japan, my father was given tickets to the ballet. No one else wanted to go so he just went by himself. I asked who he saw. It was Dame Margot Fonteyn, who would have been in her 40s at the time, dancing with one of her last partners, Rudolph Nureyev, who would have been in his early 20s. He thought, "Hey, this isn't too bad!" So basically, his very first experience of the ballet was to see two legends of dance, one near the pinnacle of her career and the other at the beginning of his. -

Do the Japanese typically go "camping" as we Americans do ...pitch a tent, light a fire, toast smores, that kind of stuff?
-
Thanks for reminding us that Japan is not completely paved over and has country side.

I live in the Washington, DC area. I'm always surprised when I visit Texas – people in Texas stand twice as far apart in line as we do here in the NE US.

Please type the name of your location in this video. The captions list it as "Evac Team," and my hearing is a bit off, because of jet engine noise when I served in the Air Force. I also looked up the prefecture map, but the prefecture names around Tokyo do not sound like "Evac Team" when it comes out of my mouth. haha. NaNa and I are homebodies as well. I was so happy when I discovered online Christmas Shopping in the late 1990s! Recommending this video for our students.

At some point of my life, I would love to live in rural Japan for a few years.

I live in a country area in Australia. I love it, I don't like congested areas, too many people 😀😀.
