A rare snow day in Chigasaki
Last month, we had a rare snow day here in Chigasaki.
I lived in Maui for nearly 30 years, so experiencing a snow day still feels very special to me. The coastal area of Kanagawa Prefecture, where I now live, is known for its warm and mild climate. When I realized that I had moved from a Maui-like place in Japan to the real Maui all those years ago, the thought struck me with a smile.

Enoshima Island and Katase Beach
Enoshima Island and Katase Beach hold a special spot in my heart.
I grew up nearby. One Sunday morning when I was seven, I had just learned how to ride a bicycle. I woke up early, quietly slipped out of the house, and rode straight to the beach.
