Walking Nagoya 8 – Atsuta
I cycled from central Chikusa to Atsuta Shrine, aiming to complete a round trip, including bike parking, exploration, lunch, all within a tight three-hour timeframe. However, for longer journeys, I’ll need to rely on the subway. It’s not a problem, though, as the heat and humidity are beginning to pick up, and cycling in such…

Walking Nagoya 1 – Tsurumai Park
In rediscovering this routine I’ve got back into a rhythm I once embraced many years ago – quietly observing people as they go about their daily lives. Unlike the Nakasendo or Kisoji people are everywhere. This subtler approach is a style that personally resonates.
