🍁☕ Ep. 79 - Magical Fall Colors, Sumo Coffee, Family Support



In This Episode:

🟢 Korankei: A Magical Fall Destination
Discover Korankei, a breathtaking spot in Aichi Prefecture known for its vibrant fall colors. I share highlights from my visit, including Sanshu Asuke Yashiki, a historic village brimming with antiques, arts and crafts. Perfect for an exciting autumn day trip!

🔵 Sumo Coffee from Hokkaido
Coffee lovers, meet Sumo Coffee! Actually, it's not really called that - it's just what I've nicknamed it! It's from a place in Hakodate, Hokkaido, called Select Coffee Shop 'peacepiece.'This unique brew from Hokkaido not only tastes great but also features a striking (and funny) sumo wrestler on its packaging.

🟡 Mystery Thief at a Kindergarten
In Fukuoka, shoes mysteriously disappeared from a kindergarten. Thanks to a security camera, the sneaky culprit was revealed. Listen in for the unexpected twist to this funny story!

🟠 Relocating to Japan: Aging and Family Support
I discuss the realities of supporting a partner and their parents overseas, and navigating some of the life changes that can potentially come with international relationships - but it's not all bad news - a friend is retiring and moving here while keeping a positive mindset.

🔴 Word of the Day
I hope today's Word of the Day reaches you! The delivery network is experiencing some delays!👀
