In the valley

What I imagine about a typical countryside of Japan is something like this.

Mountains/hills surrounding residents & rice fields with roads & rivers streaming in between them.
About 70% of the land in Japan is relatively similar to this kind of sight so it's easy to imagine that flatter coastlines are densely populated when there's 125 million people living in Japan.

I just made it here, thanks to the motor way running near the top of those hills over there.

Anyway, it was great to forget about busy Tokyo and relax in a quiet rural areas while my short stay back home.
Now back in Tokyo, ready to work for four more days.
(Another story coming by the end of the weekend which is reason I'm working only four days this week.)
