Believe it or not, I think it’s the first time I see the sunset in Japan on June 21st! In my first years here, I worked until after sunset (never again), and generally speaking, the Summer solstice usually takes place during the rainy season, so I mostly see rain on […]

A very quick post today. I shot this video, and I thought you may like it. I’m debating starting a “relaxing in Setouchi” series. The most difficult part is having a video that’s several minutes long and that is not interrupted by the sound of a motorized vehicle. […]
Well, well, well… Those are crazy times, aren’t they? This Coronavirus pandemic puts me in a strange position with this blog (hence the lack of new posts recently). One of its goals is to make you want to come to Kagawa prefecture and visit the Setouchi islands. However, right now, […]
