I quit my corporate job, bought a $6,000 house in rural Japan, and built a new life around work, travel, and adventure.
This video shows what a day in my life looks like—balancing remote work, creating content, and making the most of living near a ski resort and the outdoors. But there’s a lot more to this story than what you see on the surface. It’s been a journey of big decisions, challenges, and changes to get to this point. However, my hours are no longer dictated by a 9-to-5; this lifestyle transformation means I can work from anywhere, anytime, driven by my passions.
If you want to understand how I went from a corporate grind to this lifestyle, watch the full video and see what a day here really looks like.
I focus on sharing practical, reliable information for people interested in property, travel, or building a different kind of life in Japan. If you're interested in creating a similar lifestyle or would like to see my journey unfold, follow me here and on Instagram for regular updates. You can also find detailed guides I’ve created with my recommendations on Japan travel and property locations in Japan. Check the links below!
