Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has
the courage to lose sight of the shore. – Andre Gide
It has been three months since I arrived in
Toyooka city. I could still remember how a lady helped me find my apartment;
the first night when I slept without futon
and blanket; the discovery of shops around my place. It was like a
roller coaster on my first week in this new town. Now, I am all settled and ready
to discover its beauty and what it can offer.
Work was my main reason why I moved south. My job; however, didn’t stop me
from having fun and traveling. Although I only wandered around, I did check a
few hot spots in the area.
My real Toyooka trip started last week. I got to discover the relaxing onsens in Kinosaki and the mysterious
Gembudo Caves. It’s the surreal feeling that kept me wondering and wanting to
see more of this place. I know there are a lot this place has to offer and I am
more than excited to experience them all. Besides, I have the future ahead to
tour around this rich city.
True to Andre Gide’s words, we only get to experience authentic culture in a different place.
