My younger daughter is back in Japan for the first time in six years. The last time she came to Japan was in 2018, before the pandemic. She is here with an American friend, and they are traveling around Japan together. They spent the first few days in Tokyo, and now they are in Nagoya. After several days of rain, the sun has finally come out. I decided to take them into the mountains because I wanted to show them that Japan is more than just big cities. We visited Tsumago and Magome, two old post towns from the Edo period. The area is famous for chestnuts, and every time they saw chestnut sweets, they had to eat them.
