Around two months ago I waited desperately for a little bit of green…now take a look at those pictures and see what you can find in the middle of Okazaki now: Green, green rice fields! And when I say in the middle of the city I literally mean it. That’s not countryside (okay, Okazaki itself is inaka but still…370.000 residents, hello!?) but in a residential area.

I love the way the blue sky and the houses are reflected by the water. Can you see why Japan makes me happy and gives me this peace of mind?
