Along the branch line of the Tokaido Main Line, between Shin-Tarui Station and Sekigahara Station. A land that has been habited for decades. Now that I walk less and less, there was a beauty that could only be encountered by using my feet. The appearance of nature without human intervention. The beauty of dignified bamboo and the pleasant and beautiful song of leaves whispering in the wind. I felt the beauty of nature with all five senses. Now that we are adults, our horizons tend to narrow and we tend to lose our mental space, we realize the joy and importance of feeling nature with our whole body. I also want to value what can be obtained in nature in the countryside, where there are fewer children.

Was walking through Shimokitazawa the other day and found some really cool street art on the shutter of some shop or something not really sure what the building was. Just thought it was cool to see this. Don't see much street art in Japan, which isn't necessarily a bad thing as usually it involves vandalism, but this doesn't look to be vandalism, although I could be wrong. Either way I think it's a nice improvement to the empty shutters and definitely adds a little spice to the area. Aesthetically I'm a huge fan since I enjoy learning about Japanese history, especially samurai, swords, etc., even if this is a fantastical rendition of the likes you'd find in some anime or manga. Shimokitazawa is a pretty cool place though. It seems like a lot of younger people go shopping in the area and there's a lot of restaurants as well. If you're into coffee, cafes, and unique shops with trinkets, etc. it's an enjoyable place to visit. Really trendy

The last of the photos that I took at Asukayama Park. The first one was a nice statue of Shibusawa Eiichi and the second and third were taken at a shrine inside the park. I had to do a little bit of research to learn more about the shrine, but I was already quite sure it was an Inari Shrine because of the fox statues, but apparently it's called I believe Kabuto Inari Shrine Ruins 兜稲荷社跡, although I could be wrong about the reading for the first kanji. I liked that the shrine had a really small wooden shrine of what I believe was what the original shrine actually looked like, and the stone lanterns were aesthetically pleasing as well. I foolishly forgot to take a picture of the torii gate unfortunately... The last two photos are the statue of Shibusawa Eichi which took us forever to find lol and the plaque below it. I can only make out a few characters that are written on the plaque but there's another plaque on the back of the pedestal which I forgot to take a picture of, so if you're visiting the park be sure to look at that if you're struggling to read it as well lol.
