Live like a Traveler

Haneda Airport in Tokyo as of November, 2021

It's been about two years since I've been overseas, with my last trip to Chicago in December 2019. I hadn't been to Haneda Airport Terminal 3 in a while, and in addition to the name change, the new facilities made it a futuristic space. It was a quiet airport, and after completing the departure procedures, we headed for San Francisco.

A Day Trip Between Tokyo and Onjuku

Today was my third day trip between Tokyo and Onjuku since I started living in two locations. I spent a total of 2 hours and 40 minutes on the train, and 7 hours in the city, making it a worthwhile day. In between errands, I visited the fields and harvested our first crop. It would be hard to do this commute every day, but once in a while it is a good distance.

Between Two Cities : Calm Weekends in Tokyo

Since we started living in two locations, it has become our routine to spend weekends in Onjuku and weekdays in Tokyo. Last weekend, we had many plans in Onjuku and Minami-Boso, but an emergency occurred early Friday morning. We suddenly decided to spend the weekend in Tokyo, and it was the first quiet weekend in a long time.

College Friends’ Gathering in Tokyo

We are five girls who studied architecture together. It's been over 20 years since we met, and we are still good friends. In our twenties, we all lived in Tokyo, worked in Tokyo, played in Tokyo, and shared various experiences. After that, we were scattered inside and outside of Tokyo when we got married, but we get together finding the time to meet.
