The Tokyo Chapter

In 2017 my family headed to Tokyo. My husband had a new job and my son and I came along for the ride. This move was my second move to Japan - the first was for a year in 2002. At that time I was a single, recent college graduate. Moving abroad as a family was a whole different ball of wax. As I live this crazy life in Japan, I track our adventures and my observations, creating an unofficial guidebook to the city.

May the young be happy and healthy

We had a quiet day at home, celebrating Kodomo no hi (Children's Day) in a laid back manner. We proudly flew our koi flag; ate a bit of chimaki and kashiwamochi; and even took a bath with iris leaves.
