I make house visits every Thursday afternoon for patients with various hardships. Not a few elderly people live alone on small islands in the Seto Inland Sea. It is one of the social problems in Japan that the working-age people...

Japan seems to have been held as an industrialized country, and this speculation isn't wrong, but what do you make of the following pictures? These pictures were shot in a small fishery port, which is 2 hours' drive away from...

Our waiting time for a gondola was very short. The gondola commanding a fine view of mountains, crater lakes around Mt. Fuji and some vents spewing water vapor was one of the highlights of our Hakone tour. As the gondola...
