Last week we enjoyed spending time in Kiryu, having a few days at home and also a few days of roaming and exploring the surrounding areas. We walked everywhere (as our car’s being Shaken-ed), visiting our local art museum, cultural centre, old town shops and cafes which all exceeded our expectations.

We also randomly read about the 10 most beautiful train stops in Japan and one of which is in Gunma so we decided to pay a visit. It was indeed a most interesting experience visiting Doai Station. There are only two platforms in this station. While Platform 1 is 70m below the surface with 462 steps and no elevator! Platform 2 is covered in snow! ❄️ Nice way to prep ourselves for another ski trip in a couple of days. 🤗

Grateful to be safely home after a week of touring. Transiting via Tokyo today in heavy snowfall and reaching Kiryu where even our garden is blanketed in snow!

We love travelling and seeing our friends in different parts of Japan (will share in separate posts later on) but also love being home. Next week we will have our staycation in Kiryu. 🤗

Next week I will spend more time in our Kiryu yoga room. I may do a live YouTube yoga class in our regular Yin and Hatha Yoga class times. Anyone interested? 🙋‍♀️🙋🧘🏻‍♀️🧘🏻‍♂️
