Sunrise 🌄 from My Balcony in Miyawaka (Fukuoka) 2025
Each morning, I awaken to a glorious sunrise spilling golden light across the horizon, casting long shadows over the quiet countryside. From my balcony, I watch as the air comes alive with the soft chirping of crickets and the graceful movements of oriental white storks foraging in the nearby stream and rice paddies. Life here follows a gentle rhythm—unhurried, serene, and deeply grounding. Nestled in a small Japanese town just beyond the bustling city of Fukuoka, my apartment feels like a sanctuary. As I sip my tea and take in the unfolding scene, I feel connected to something timeless and true—a quiet reminder that beauty often lies in the simplest moments.
