Join me on a sunny-day stroll through the nearly forgotten Takase Onsen in Sekikawa Village, nestled in a mountainous corner of Niigata Prefecture, Japan. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect for an early February day! During my walk, I stumbled upon several old and abandoned onsen hotels. This street has clearly seen better days. There's not much happening here anymore. I'm not sure how much longer the remaining businesses will be around.
Bakugou groans when the fast food worker does a double take of him waiting in line at the Drive-Thru, the McDonald’s on the outskirts of Central Musutafu the only place open after two am.
He probably should’ve changed out of his hero costume before turning up to the restaurant, but when he received a call from you just before the end of his shift he knew it was an emergency. The adorable, sleepy lilt to your voice had him dropping everything in favour of sourcing nuggets in the early hours.
Only his pregnant wife could coax him away from his regular commute to pick up something that should satiate the cravings, thankful that somewhere was still open so he didn’t have to disappoint you with something from the local kombini.

I lived forever in a dream world. Oh, how happy I was when I came home with a bag of books! Now I could sit undisturbed behind my curtain, bent comfortably forward as I took out the books one by one and enjoyed them to my heart's content. The height of my aspirations was that a man of noble birth, perfect in both looks and manners, someone like the Shining Prince in The Tale of Genji, would visit me just once a year in the mountain village where he would have hidden me like Lady Ukifune. There I should live my lonely existence, gazing at the blossoms and the autumn leaves and the moon and the snow, and wait for an occasional splendid letter from him. This was all I wanted; and in time I came to believe that it would actually happen.
Join me on a leisurely autumn walk around the beautiful Nakano Estate in Niitsu, Niigata City, Japan. This historic estate was once the residence of Japan’s “Oil Magnate” Nakano Kanichi and is now a public art and history museum. The estate boasts a grand garden full of Japanese maple trees that color the landscape in fall, making this a popular place to see the changing leaves.

Oiran walk is a traditional Japanese dance performance that was traditionally performed by oiran, a type of courtesan in Japan.
The oiran were highly trained in the art of entertainment and were considered to be the pinnacle of Japanese beauty and elegance.
The oiran walk is a slow, graceful dance that is typically performed in a beautiful kimono, with the performer balancing a small wooden platform on her head.
The dance is an important part of Japanese cultural heritage and is still performed today in traditional Japanese dance shows.
