I’m not the type of person to feel attached to the city or country I live in. Or so I thought. To be honest, maybe it’s because I don’t like the city where I was born. The river and forests where I played as a child are no longer there. But then I suddenly think, there’s no such thing as an ideal city with no stress at all, and that it’s the many challenges that make it interesting. That’s when I started to think that, and I began to feel attached to Yokohama. If there’s something missing, you just need to go to a place that has it. There’s also magnificent nature just an hour’s drive away. Even a city of concrete and steel can be beautiful.
Anonymous said, colour of autumn leaves in Japan was red, and the rest is yellow. I don’t agree. Autumn colors are various and filled with a lot of colours on our planet. However, it is true that red is a kind of dominant colour at least around Tokyo because of cherry trees, dodan-tsutsuji (Enkianthus perulatus) and such street plants. In addition, late autumn weather is usually dry and clear then you may see some orange skies both in a morning and evening. And, needless to say, it is a good moment.
