Taue, Rice Planting, at Terraced Rice Fields in Satoyama
On Saturday, I helped a friend plant rice at terraced rice fields near my house.
Satoyama life
Earthing on the Full Moon Day
It was a full moon day yesterday, so in the morning, I went my regular Nordic walking and I did earthing, too.
Satoyama Cycling along Water-filled Rice Paddies.
It is fabulous going Satoyama cycling along rice paddies now that water is filled.
Satoyama Nordic Walking along Water-filled Rice Paddies
Rice paddies have water now, and people will plant rice next week or so. The end of April to the beginning of May is the rice planting season in Japan. It is a beautiful time to go walking or cycling and my regular morning Nordic walking gives me further pleasure.
Combining a Hot Spring with my Intermittent Fasting Routine
Maybe I should go to a hot spring every weekend so that I can create a good balance sequence of stress and break. Alternating stress and break is a method recommended by Yu Suzuki, the author of Furo Choju Method, A Method of Immortality and Longevity, another best-selling book on the topic of longevity.
Bamboo shoot Eating Season
It is a bamboo shoot eating season now, and we get a lot of bamboo shoots in Satoyama.
Planting Seeds in the Spring
On Sunday, I planted some seeds before it started raining. It began raining about one hour after I finished planting. It was perfect timing.
Satoyama Cycling with Cherry Blossoms
It is Saturday and I have completed the seventh week of my intermittent fasting with Nordic walking and HIIT routine. This morning, I had breakfast and went Satoyama cycling with my son instead of my regular Nordic walking.
