Misumi, Kumamoto

My grand mother lives in a town calls "Misumi" by the sea of Kumamoto which is about 40min drive from Kumamoto city where my parents live.  She lives in a small Japanese house with beautiful garden that she spends most of her time.  The house stands right above the Ariake bay. 

Since I was young, my family spent many times here on weekends and holidays, I didn't think this is anything special.  Now, I traveled and lived many places in the world and realized how beautiful and calm this place is.  

「三角・天草」私の祖母が住む三角町から天草の風景。幼い頃から週末を過ごしてきた所。この日は驚くほど天気がよく、澄み切った青空に深いエメラルドグリーンの海が映えていた。見慣れた風景だが、海外から帰ってくる度に日本の自然の美しさを改めて感じる。
