I had a lovely 3-day stay in Tokyo with Miyoko-san. Her home is clean, quaint, and very welcoming! I felt right at home. We shared breakfast each morning and she introduced me to the simplicity and elegance of washoku (和食), enjoyed freshly made matcha tea, and gifted me a cute card pouch for my tickets and IC card! Before going to Nagoya, she gifted me one of her most cherished, beautifully embroidered outfits she wore when she was my age. She’s so sweet!
Tokyo is certainly a busy city and there’s lots to see. But thanks to Miyoko-san, I’ve learned to slow down and appreciate most simple joys of life. ミヨコさん、お世話になりました！
