I had the pleasure of strolling through the charming streets of Shima Onsen, which is now at the peak of its autumn foliage, with a lovely couple originally from Singapore and Australia who currently reside in New Zealand.
As we walked through the onsen town and ancient paths, we chatted about a variety of topics, including hot springs, Japanese food, and wildlife.
One memorable moment was when she, being able to read kanji, enjoyed studying (or perhaps just exploring?) the characters while we snacked in an old classroom of a historic school.
It was a fantastic day spent with such cheerful and engaging company.
Thank you so much for joining me!
I’m looking forward to meeting you again someday.
