Beautifully written Stephanie. Japan is on the bucket list.

It’s the unfortunate state of urbanisation and industrialism. Sacrificing traditional lifestyle for materialism. Try and tell yourself to stop being so sentimental. It doesn’t work but at least you went to see it before it disappeared.

I’ve just got back from my first ever trip to Japan (I only had a week and managed Tokyo and Hakone) but I absolutely loved it and can’t wait to hopefully explore it further. This was a beautiful read!

Such a compassionate portrait of people and place. I love the photo of the factory too, it looks like something out of Howl's Moving Castle.
