We live in Honshu. Honshu is biggest island in Japan. Our town Izushi is under the jurisdiction of Hyogo Prefecuture, over 500 km west of Tokyo. There are four seasons in Japan. Spring Spring comes when the snow melts and animals come out of hibernation.
Plum trees bloom first, followed later by the cherry blossoms.
The hills and fields are covered with tender greenery. When the tender shoots turn dark green and you perspire even when you keep still, summer is around the corner. My town is located near the Japan Sea. So, we often go to beaches. The natural beauty reaches a climax with the hills and fields covered in leaves and the forests carpeted in fall leaves.
