Stroll Around My Brother Flat, Ina Village Nagano, Japan

When you're in a new place, no matter how simple it is, I'm sure you love taking a leisurely stroll. You don't have to go anywhere, just wander around and see what you're doing. That's what I did when I stayed at my brother's apartment. While he was away at work and I was home alone, I thought I'd check out the neighborhood.

Despite the scorching heat, the sun's glare assaulting my eyes, the temperature still felt chilly. The wind was blowing so hard, my thin body could have been blown away. Luckily, I wasn't, because I'm so strong. Hahaha…

Ina Village, where my brother lives, has a beautiful view. It's surrounded by mountains and rice fields. There are many ditches that provide clean water. Solar panels are everywhere. However, it was winter, so the rice fields were empty. There were no plants except for weeds around.

However, this village didn't lose its beauty. As far as the eye can see, you will see so many green trees. Ina Village is a beautiful, clean, and quiet village. The locals prefer to stay indoors because the weather is cool. You see the main road above, the traffic is not as heavy as the usual main roads. You can even count the vehicles passing by. It's interesting, isn't it? I live in a city that never seems to stop to rest, its vehicles always create pollution, but here, every vehicle brings a breath of fresh air. I'm very lucky to be here.

I enjoyed every second in this area, where the sound of water flowing in the small river—the ditch—was louder than any voices, the expanse of the vast blue sky above my head, and the painting of the mountains under the bright sun. I sat barefoot while playing with the dried weeds. Unfortunately, I couldn't linger there because this area wasn't mine. I was afraid that the unknown rules in Japanese society would burden my brother, so I only stayed there for a short time.

Even though it hadn't snowed yet, the temperature around the village was very low. This was due to the strong wind, so I needed to warm myself. I stopped by a convenience store where it was warm. While warming myself, I chose a can of hot coffee. Even in a can, the coffee was still hot.

I chose this coffee to conclude my little trip. It was nice to be able to travel around and finish it off with a delicious can of coffee.

Just the thought of this little trip makes me miss it so much. I really want to go back next winter, but that opportunity probably won't happen this year because my sister won't be in Japan at the end of the year. Yes, she will be traveling to our hometown. We will meet even if it's not in Japan. hehehehe

Hasta La vista…
