We don't live in Japan during winter and just got back a few days ago. We are welcomed by landslides, snow, skeletons and fallen trees on our road.

At the moment we don't have access to our village and will coordinate with the city to help clear all this up. But this is why it's dangerous at the moment to live there during winter. You can easily get stuck up in the mountains and would have to call a helicopter to come get us. In the future we will get a snowplow and do it ourselves.

So we're staying in town till we figure this out. But we're happy to be back In Japan and can't wait to get back up there and continue Remodeling our home and village.

Our journey together began meeting at a mutual friends birthday party on a beach in Vietnam. We ended up playing a game and being on the same team and won. Ever since then we've been building a life together and growing.

We both have always loved traveling and exploring the world, but deep down we've both always dreamed of living a sustainable life off grid way before meeting. So when we made the decision to make the move. To some it seemed foolish but for us it is literally a dream come true. We're very outdoorsy and find true fulfillment with hands on things and building something ourselves.

I can say for sure we never thought it would be in Japan and never planned on living here to be honest. But COVID changed everything and made us rethink our off grid dream. Making us realize we're actually blessed to be able to have this lifestyle In the mountains of Japan.

We're super stoked to see what we can create here. Sometimes we fail, sometimes we make something beautiful, but no matter what happens, it's Ours. 🥰

Found this beetle outside of our window. It's rare and popular with young kids to catch and keep as pets. What do you think? Kinda creepy to me. 😅

Found this samurai short sword in the attic that I love. Wish I knew the history behind it, but I'm trying to restore it in my free time because I'm obsessed with it!

More photos from the archives in our house of people from our village back in the day. We've tried to find family members to pass these to since the previous owner passed away earlier this year. But no one to give them to do we just have to keep and cherish this piece of history.
There's no way we can throw this out!

There's so much to discover when living in nature. The more modern we become the less we connect with this energy and eachother. We depend on these modern comforts making ourselves believe the more fancy tech we have is the "normal" way of life.

There's just something about being able to tell the time of year by the trees and bugs around. Nature is peaceful but its not quite. The sounds of animals, birds and wind through the trees is better than city noise any day to us.

We all define our happy place differently, but never let the world or these distractions in it make you forget where that is. 💓

This is probably the coolest find in the house so far. We came across a few black and white photo albums that really take you back into time. This is just a few photos, will post more later.

These photos are from world War ll Era. How crazy and beautiful is this!!

The last photo of the nine men. This is the 9th navel group. The pilots that fought in from Pearl Harbour. Mind blown!!! So amazing to find a piece of history like this in your own home.

This process is hard work and so much fun transforming this house into something we will call our home. It definitely isn't perfect and we have made a lot of mistakes and learning along the way. But in the end it will all be worth it!

This is a lifestyle we have both wanted for so long. Some people think we're crazy getting a house we have to remodel every room but We like to get our hands dirty and create things in our own image.

This is exactly our kind of vibe! We never get bored and are always busy in the mountains. Traveling for the last few years none stop has been a awesome ride but we all need a place to call home. With all we've witnessed in different countries tries with their beautiful architecture on how they build homes. We'll mix many different styles that we love. Can't wait to see the end result! 🥰

I feel like every time we step out the mountains change and shows us some new beauty. It's like a continuous discovery mode that never turns off.

Today we went mountain forgeing for vegetables with one of our local friends. The energy here is just so welcoming and peaceful. Every day we are happier to have this lifestyle and working hard to make things perfect!

We're trying all the tips and tricks people recommend to us for our garden that are natural ways.

For example adding rosemary to out tomatoes and other companion planting. Also this copper coil wire. We're still both very amateur in the gardening game.

So if you have any gardens and have some tips we would love to hear about them? 😄

We're also extending the greenhouse to apart of the porch for now. We will definitely build a much better and nicer one on the side of the house but we have wayy to many things to do before that project.

How cool is this! We have so much things we need to get rid of so the first round is all about repurposing things. In this plant nursery/anti animal project. Ikumi took two old doors from the house and turned it into a little enclosed temporary small greenhouse. 😍
