The mountains, forests, woods, and wildlife once taken for granted have all but disappeared since I moved to a city of concrete. So has the ability to be alone.

Semi-regular posting to begin soon
This blog may be more difficult to write than some of the others I have done, and I can't get away everyday, but I hope to get started soon.
Although many could happily spend a lifetime in Tokyo, one the the world's largest and most interesting cities, I spent the first three and a half decades of my life avoiding just such places, even at some career expense.
After ten years of living and working in Tokyo, I find myself reverting to the man I was in the past and seek those places away from noisy, pushy crowds, the rush, the concrete, the pollution, and as much as possible, the synthetic urban version of "nature."
However, life in Tokyo, means that sometimes one does have to look for "nature" on a small scale and thus have to ignore the artificiality. But there are places near Tokyo and more distant where one can truly enjoy the forests, mountains, wildlife, and return to what many of us cannot live without.
