We are on a lovely drive through the Japanese countryside. My Japanese mother and I are enjoying the beautiful view from our car. Ahead, there is a narrow, quiet road with green hedges on the right and cherry blossom trees in full bloom on the left. The road is a bit wet from recent rain, and petals from the cherry blossoms are scattered on the ground, making it look very pretty and peaceful. The GPS shows we are in a rural area, exploring a quiet route to enjoy Japan's natural beauty.

This year, I am very lucky because I get to visit Fukuoka during the springtime when the cherry blossoms are blooming and falling.

It's so much fun to go outside and find inspiration in life when you feel something special.
