This tour was also my first time...

Through this blog I'd like to share with you my daily life, the places I visit, the delicious food, and my precious memories from Japan.  I moved to Japan in March and it really feels like a dream come true. Ever since I first came to this country, I always wanted to have my own place. A lot has changed since that time. Back then I was just a 60kg boy, barely...
