Ok, so "rural Japan" is pretty vague since it describes four out of the five years I lived there. I suppose I can get really technical and say, "A tiny rural village on an early Autumn day in October, 2008". Is that a little more descriptive? These photos were taken in a village called Ikaga, in Omiya, a town in the city of Kyotango. Bryn was living in Osaka at the time and had come up to Tango for the weekend. It was a perfect early autumn day and we just drove around aimlessly, as we often did. We had okonomiyaki for lunch and probably a McFlurry before I dropped him back off at the station. I love so much about the Japanese countryside, and these pictures have me longing to be sitting at a kotatsu eating perfectly ripe persimmons with a bottle of cold green tea. Ok, perhaps in a couple months time since it's still hot and humid there now, but you get the picture!
Oh man, can we go there now, please?!?
