A Quiet Visit Home in Japan | Time with My Father

Thank you for watching 😊 In this video, I travel back to my hometown in Japan and spend a few quiet days with my father. After not being able to visit as often this year, I finally had time to slow down and enjoy everyday life at home. I cleaned the house, prepared homemade meals, met a longtime friend, and spent time surrounded by familiar places and memories. Through this quiet visit home, I hope to share a glimpse of Japanese daily life, family traditions, and the simple beauty of life in Japan. Thank you for spending this time with me.🌿 What is something that has remained unchanged in your hometown over the years? I'd love to hear your story in the comments.🥰 🍳 Recipes Simmered Root Vegetables (Nimono) Ingredients Burdock root (gobo) Carrot Daikon radish Dried shiitake mushrooms Konjac (konnyaku) Instructions Soak the dried shiitake mushrooms in water until softened.
