Japanese Garden

Turning an Abandoned Japanese Village Into a Permaculture Paradise



Over the last 8 years Byron and his family have built a naturally built home and permaculture homestead in the countryside of Japan. The home features rocks from Mt. Fuji, massive support beams, earthen floors and walls, hydronic floor heating, solar powered, and other special features that make this home one of a kind.

  1. 1st .. I want to say .. thank you for letting us tour some very authentic Japanese style homes .. It's fascinating to see how these places are built. 2nd .. regarding the deer .. I've tried many things .. and I haven't tried what I'm going to tell you about .. but I have a friend who says it's working! Collect a bunch of eggs and let them rot a bit .. then spread them around the area you want to protect from the deer. Apparently the deer don't like the rotten egg sulfur smell. 3rd .. I live in southwestern Arkansas .. lots of old time families who have their own way of doing things. So when a Korean man came into the neighborhood .. the idea of taking your shoes off before going inside the home .. is not well understood .. and serves as a metaphor for a lot more! I enjoyed my Korean neighbors .. and did a lot to help him set up an irrigation system for his large garden. It's a really nice thing when they end up coming to you when they need to know something important because of the language barrier. We are all neighbors .. as long as we act neighborly!!!

  2. Good day from Kamakura, Japan 🇯🇵. A fascinating look into life in the Japanese countryside. Thank you. I’ve lived in Japan now for 42 years and have often dreamed of living in a place like this. 👍🏾🤩🐶

  3. Inspirational video, thank you! I live on the eastern Mediterranean (Hatay, Turkey) where the next generation will sell the land while their parents are still alive.. no respect or honor here for roots and ancestry. Happy to see the Japanese youth are at least reluctant to sell land that was in their family for generations!

  4. Bravo!
    Farming is hard. It builds character and calluses.
    That is why 2% of Americans are farmers, while 100% of Americans eat.
    In Japan, I suspect it is the same.
    Keep up the hard work.
    At the end it will be worth it.

  5. Sad end of the video, the end of a dream. We sacrifice so much for our children and most of the time they don’t even appreciate it 😢
