After work today, I went for an osanpo (walk) around the neighborhood. It’s so fun to explore and snap photos! 📸 The highlight was definitely visiting the small castle and hiking up to the little shrines tucked away in the hills above town. Tatsuno is such a charming place! ✨🏯
Today I bundled up and went exploring around our new neighborhood ❄️ It was a snowy day that felt magical… for about the first five minutes. After that I was freezing! Still, totally worth it.
We’re living in the historical part of town, which means all the buildings have that beautiful old-world charm, including our own place. Wooden facades, traditional details, narrow streets dusted in snow. It honestly feels like we’ve stepped into another era. I kept expecting a samurai to stroll past the corner. In fact, Tatsuno is known as a samurai town! 😄
That being said, I found the little slice of life scenes to be the most interesting. There’s quite a mix of Meiji and Showa styles going on in this town, in my opinion.
