Green therapy

One of the things we really love about the place we often holiday in in Japan (a town called Karuizawa) is the beautiful green surroundings. A real balm to the soul after the concrete and asphalt of Tokyo. We took our visitors up there for a week and here is some of the green we saw.

Our seven bedroom "mansion". The two families used both the upstairs and downstairs apartments of the OMF holiday house. Wonderful. The children enjoyed playing hide and seek here! We also did a trial set-up of our new tent in the front yard. Some of the children slept overnight in the tent.

Thanks for sharing the green Wendy. It really is beautiful, and I'm just a little envious. Glad you could all enjoy it though!

It looks lovely and green. There must be some great walks in the area. Did you go to the museum?
