Living and Farming with a Japanese Family!

[Music] everyone I'm in it--though now I'm an author for a very special reason I'm actually gonna be going to stay with a family who lives and works on a farm so this is called a farm stay and in Japanese it's no Hucker so I'm gonna be participating I'm gonna be enjoying no haka with this family and having a good time I brought lots of stuff got my luggage with me because this place like you can't really treat it as a hotel because I'm gonna be staying with the family working with the family so I put my own towel my own toiletries pajamas everything nothing like a usual hotel I'm gonna do it all myself with the family Oh sir I'm here with a very special person I'm here with Jionni real thing you're doing to take your creative stuff as well but luckily I get to experience this on my own channel with you guys so let's go meet our family ma and pas Oh also heads up the family that we're staying with and a lot of families that do this kind of experience might not speak that much English but I think it's all part of the experience right sometimes you do actually get to have a translator like a human translator come with you but it's really good if you did this kind of experience to have translation on your phone or have a little device to bring with you something like that hey I forgot to mention when I first film this video but this video is sponsored by terrorism ITAR I will go away my name is Kyle Javits Yankee fan is the father who is the way to come they can't spray always taking my bag oh he's running with my bag he took my bag he's so Genki I think it's probably because of all the vegetables see he grows sweet potatoes and we're going to be eating a lot of vegetables tonight and we're going to be trying a dish that I've never tried before so it all sounds like really exciting stuff [Music] so we've come to the Adachi house and there's I don't even know how to express myself this so much going on there's so many antiques and the house is beautiful yet it's huge but there's so many beautiful things to see and we've been taken to this room where we're gonna be eating dinner tonight on a ha have you guys have I said her Thor hath hearth out loud I've never said it out loud I feel like I've only ever read it so I'm only gonna be staying at this house for one night and then tomorrow I believe I'm going to a completely different house actually Otto has over 280 houses that do this kind of thing this this farm stay now it's kind of confusing with the word farm stay because not all of the places of farms but they are all in these kind of farming communities and farming towns but each house is different some people might not be farmers but there is a lot of greenery and farms surrounding it there's a lot of variety as well some of them are near the ocean some of them are in the mountains it's just there's heaps to choose from another thing this kind of experience has been going on for a long time but it's been for Japanese people so a lot of Japanese people will come to the countryside and do like a farm stay so that you can bring your kids as well and that your kids can get back in touch with farming and nature if you live in the city and also with this kind of thing you can get a taste of what it's like to live on a farm and live in this kind of community without making a huge move to to the countryside so I think it's a really good system have you given some gloves and when you and pick some vegetables I'm gonna take the car cause it's a bit far away but and pick some daikon anything I haven't picked the vegetable in so long didn't know that daikon grew like half out of the ground Wow they're huge look at the size of this this is daikon I had no idea that it grew out of the ground I always thought it all hid underneath ground and then you pull the whole thing up it's huge its massive it's bigger than the size of my cough I can't wait to pick some we're gonna be making dinner tonight with them that's so big like here we go first I go if I can't oh my gosh big oh my god John Dumbo Dumbo [Music] so [Music] buddy Mars [Music] Cassatt or more your topic the time I'm so nervous [Music] let's go you've never helping mama part of the family we like the kids we're sisters [Music] Oh [Music] [Music] [Music] so be cozy for a while there's a bunch of people coming over and what we're gonna eat around the hearth the hearth and we've cooked a lot of food I won't be able to eat at all but I don't know if we well I don't know anything that we're cooking that isn't like locally grown or fished or made oh

citrus that is grown down here a couple still use it there's so much [Music] okay so this this mysterious door in the hillside is actually a cellar where they keep all of the produce that they're not
