My kids were hiding in the toilet so they wouldn’t be in the video, so it’s not included 😅 At the time I took the video I had no idea it was so luxurious. I felt “duty” bound to update everyone on the toilet situation. 😝
Anyways, really impressed with the hotel. Recommend!

The bottom one completely closes up into a box. Total privacy. But my daughter said she feels like Nezuko from Demon Slayer 😂

Gold bathroom is sooo Nagoya. Is this what Hideyoshi’s toilet looked like? 😂⭐️

So, I guess you can hypothesize: If my parents and my spouse’s parents were in the same town, we probably would be just like these Millennials and never went far! Family matters.

Some of those moves were for education. Some were for “opportunities”. Never were for a specific job. Most were for family reasons (cf my last 3 years bouncing back and forth between Canada and Japan for dying parents)

Never returned to my hometown, where I was until 18. But I DID move to a city close to my parents and brother when my kids were small. That is the longest I have been in 1 community: 9 years.

Currently working on my 9th move in the past 3 years. 😢 My kids certianly deserve some stability in their lives.
In total I have moved 10+ times between 8 different towns and cities, and probably 10+ times within a few of those cities. Gen-Xer.

Adjacent to your topic but have you happened to have read Wengrow and Graeber’s new book “The Dawn of Everything”? Blew my mind in terms of the new thinking around early state formation and organizing humans. Probably similar stuff in this SFI pub. Do you know?

Didn’t realize you were up here too. I always thought you were a Kyushu man.
I have only really lived for any real length of time in Kyoto, Nagoya, and Iki.

The shopping district spreads out from 大須観音 Ōsu Kannon, a Shingon temple dedicated to Avalokitesvara. The oldest extant version of the Kojiki is here. Check out that massive paper lantern! 🏮

After checking into the cool bunk bed hotel, we walked around Osu, the shopping district just south of downtown. 1/2

Yes! I lived here for a few years and am staying near my old neighbourhood. Looking forward to walking around memory lanes with my 13 year old, who was born here

On a tip from @jedschmidt I went to @bluebottleroast in Kiyamachi to get some of the yōkan they have developed for drinking with coffee. I got two flavours at the store, and am enjoying them with a pour over at home ☕️ 😋

Sure hope not! 😷 The crowds looked pretty bad tho, and we had all kinds of people from other prefectures taking it back home 😔

Just waiting to see how many got it at Gion. We stayed away from the main parade and avoided all the major gatherings of people.

My recommendation to you is don’t drag your family across the world on a harebrained adventure to write a travelogue during a global pandemic, then have 3 parents die in succession on opposite sides of the Pacific Ocean. That’s my recommendation 😅

We actually didn’t go to the parade this morning. Too many crowds! We just passed by a few on the walk near our house.

Today is an uposatha day. I am taking care to sit with my morning coffee, mindfully sipping it. Soon I will eat lunch, the last meal of the day. Later I will study the Mangala Sutta before evening meditation. https://twitter.com/chadkoh/status/1547724345987911683
