Walk on Stars, Tokyo

Walk on 🌟 in Tokyo! . Here just by Tokyo station, lights were meticulously installed on the pavement’s stone with a timer to let them twinkle like stars!!! ⭐️ 🌟 💫 . On the papers today was the Indonesia tsunami and that reminded me of how the bible says that The Lord speaks through nature…

Pretty Rest Stop with Moriya Farm Steak and Cremia

There may be prettier ones but this is one of the prettiest pit stop rest area I’ve seen… with a flower garden and pond… rest benches… origami-decorated immaculately clean bathroom with new and modern utilities personal full length vanity mirrors… …and the yummiest beef barbecue on stick I’ve ever had! Moriya Farm’s cooked-upon-order, tender, perfectly…

Rainy Day in Tokyo

TQ (Tea Queue) on Ginza stroll. 🚶‍♀️ This day has been all rainy. Couldn’t help but count yesterday’s blessing that when I had signed up for the Hitachi Seaside Park tour to see the kochia (KO kya) field, the Lord gave all-day sun ☀️. Thank You for Your graces, Lord! . . . . #tea…

Pear and Chestnut Picking

Gained a better appreciation for each chestnut bite. Even with gloves, the chestnut 🌰 husks are too prickly. We just picked the ripe ones that already fell to the ground. Pears came early this year so the trees were not fruit-laden. The boss explained how dependent farming is on nature [and for me, as with…

Autumn in Hakone

Autumn in Hakone 😍 . Loving the bronze, ochre, gold, copper, russets, amber, crimson in autumn leaves! Lack (of chlorophyll from shorter sun shine) and Interruption cause this beauty. Are you experiencing a lack or interruption in your life? Beauty might just come out of it! . . . . . #autumn #leaves #nature #art…

Mt. Fuji Visit

Can a vehicular accident be a blessing? . This morning (a rainy day), a car bumped our tour vehicle which caused an hour’s delay. Norie-san, our tour guide as well as Driver-san each had to call their office and then wait for the police. We had to move to a rest area for a safer…

Sweet Suite

When reception said they would upgrade us if a suite became available (for returning after a long time), I thought, “Nice idea💐,” but didn’t put any hope in it. Very little odds probably. . But on our last 24 hours, they said, “We have a suite for you!” 👏🌈🤗And even though we would have little…
