I thought I would never write this: we are moving (one hour) out of Tokyo. Blame climate change for it, but also our willingness to try things while we can.

Moving out of Tokyo

Moving out of Tokyo

At least for a bit

My family and I are doing an experiment we had been considering for a long time: after living in cities all my life, what would it be like to live outside in nature? Mind you, not in a real rural place (that's too much asking from me) but what if it's a green place but still with museums, cafes and shops so I won't freak out? Somewhere in nature, but connected to urban-like life.

We think we might have found such a place just one hour away from Tokyo, and are going to give it a try for at least 2 years. We will see how it goes.
