12 Miles Satoyama Nordic Walking

The Ikigai Diet and Bio-Hacking

To commemorate my 60-year-old birthday, I am going to do 42 kilometers(26 miles) of Nordic walking around Hino Town next week. On Saturday, I did 20 kilometers (12 miles) Nordic walk to prepare for it.

 

Beautiful new green leaves.

 

Each neighborhood has a shrine. So when you go Satoyama Nordic walking you see so many shrines.

 

Rice fields have water in them now since many farmers do rice planting during the Golden Week (the end of April to the beginning of May)

The scenery has changed drastically in 2 weeks around here.  When I went Nordic walking 2 weeks ago, there was no water in the rice fields and there were cherry blossoms everywhere.

That is the great thing about Satoyama. You feel the season a lot.
