Onomichi Style

Peter here!

Wake up early. Eat miso soup and rice for breakfast. Hang futons out in the sun to dry. Walk the dog. Just breathe the mountain air.

Sometimes the most ordinary things feel so natural, so complete, that they prove that life needs no meaning, living is all you need.

Thanks, Onomichi. With your old temples and endless stairs, your quiet streets and tiny shops; with your relaxed pace and breathless views… I realize why so many writers sought (and found) inspiration in you. One can live slowly here. One can breathe.

And also wait almost one hour for ramen with no effort at all.
