Where Do Snails Live?
In the middle of rainy days, I went trekking in Kirifuri with my family and colleagues.
When I was a child, I saw snails everywhere in this rainy season. I can rarely find them recent years. Where have they gone?

Most foreigners are surprised by what they find when they come into contact with Japan
for the first time.
The country is seen as an overcrowded place where concern with technology and material progress has overwhelmed the more gracious aspects of life.
And so it is a pleasant discovery for many visitors to encounter a gentle, tranquil people who place great emphasis on preserving our centuries-old traditions and have a highly developed sense of beauty.
