Retired Japanese couple picnic in Zenpukuji Park (善福寺公園)
I like to take walks on weekdays when the crowds are nonexistent and the weather is good. Before rainy season, I visited Zenpukuji Park on just such a day. The only other people I see on such adventures are retired people. This couple had an exquisite picnic prepared. After this many years of marriage, they enjoyed each other’s company not by conversing but by reading. (If you look closely you can see his earbuds.)

This is exactly the sort of thing my husband and I do. That is a great spot they’ve found – probably often overlooked. Did you make a mental note to picnic there yourself? 🙂
