  • I haven't had much of a chance to explore my city, Fukuyama, and wanted to take a day and explore with you guys! Today, we're going to an area to the southern edge of Fukuyama, Tomo no Ura. A place with lots of temples, and history! There were so many more little shops and cafes I wanted to visit. I will definitely come back!

    Walking alone when you live alone can be boring, it's natural you'll seek the company of your friends. But there's nothing better than walking around alone when you have family, kids, pets...all the noise and responsibilities😃 It's the peace you seek to relax and connect with yourself in such moments.

    Your town seems very lovely. Something I've noticed as I've watched footage of people walking around various towns in Japan on different TH-cam channels is that the walkways between houses always seem very narrow/tight compared to what I'm used to here in the U.S. It does make me wonder sometimes, if these buildings ever need exterior maintenance or people have large items delivered, things like that where you might expect the need for larger items to get into those spaces, what happens then? Some of the building doorways that you walked past, I was like... hopefully they never need to get any large furniture items delivered down that walkway or into that building door, lol.
    I'm glad "we" (as the camera) were able to keep your company on your adventures and make it maybe a little more fun that way ^_^
