View from the Shinkansen bullet train from Tokyo to Fukuyama, on our way to Omishima!

We've only just arrived in Japan, but we hope to earn residency and stay here forever. This was my first ride on the shinkansen bullet train from Tokyo to Fukuyama, on our way to Omishima island. This video includes highlight footage from the Tokaido and Sanyo lines, on the fastest train in Japan, the Nozomi. You'll see rural farmland on the outskirts of Tokyo, followed by small towns, big cities, and more rural farmland, as the train speeds through the landscape. We got on the shinkansen in Tokyo's Shinagawa Station, then made stops in Shin-Yokohama, Nagoya, Kyoto, Shin-Osaka, Shin-Kobe, and Okayama, before our exit at Fukuyama Station.
Since leaving the US in 2021, we've been documenting our Mexico immigration, travels, and house-sitting. Now that we're in Japan, we're in the process of buying a house and farmland that have been abandoned for decades, and still navigating the very lengthy immigration process... I'm getting ready to make better videos, and do some sort of YouTube "premiere". I'll be using my photography camera to record higher quality videos, which also gives me the flexibility to shoot outside. And we just ordered a drone, to include shots of our neighborhood, and field restoration, as well as maybe some time-lapse of abandoned house remodel.
We hope to create all kinds of interesting content in the future, including how to start a homestead from scratch, life in foreign countries, chickens of course, honeybees of course, turning a homestead into a business, biochar, compost, soil testing, comparing different ways to start a garden from abandoned land, lots of ideas! If y'all could help us get to 1,000 subscribers, it would mean that all of our videos might start paying off, instead of just being for fun. In the meantime, at least we do have fun making them! 🥰
