I arrived in the port town of

I arrived in the port town of Futtsu, located in Uchibo (inside the Boso Peninsula) in Chiba Prefecture, about an hour's drive from Tokyo.

As soon as I arrived, I noticed that there was nothing here.

No fashionable shops, convenient supermarkets, recreational facilities, luxurious hotels, bustling downtown areas... There was absolutely nothing.

There were few young people, and in the sky there were large birds never seen in Tokyo, and in the forest wild animals such as deer and monkeys lived in the wild.

There was nothing here. It felt as if I had traveled back in time to a time before humans set foot on Earth.

The coast was not very developed, and fish would come right up to the shore.

A simple seafood Japanese restaurant where the only good thing is freshness.

A restaurant run by an old lady who is like a craftsman who has spent her whole life pursuing the deliciousness of one dish and has no idea about making a profit.

The forest purifies everything, and the air in the mountains is too clean for humans to live in.

It feels like everything is rejecting the existence of humans.

When I'm in this place. I feel like I'm one with the mountains, the sea, and the plants and animals of nature, and I'm melting into a part of nature.

But still, after a night's sleep, morning comes.
After another hour's drive, the daily life of a human city awaits me again.

I hate the inconvenience of this city, but before I know it, I even feel love for the nature that surrounds me.

I'm a little sad to say goodbye, but this is a hidden, unexplored place only an hour from Tokyo.

I'll switch my mind and return to Tokyo. And when I get tired of the human world, I'll come back here again.
In search of the blessings of nature and peace of mind. . .
