Awashima Shrine and 13 Years of Blogging

I was walking on a little street behind the train station, and when I came around a bend in the road, I saw this cute little shrine. When I looked at Google maps, I found out the name is Awashima Shrine.

I moved to Japan on December 5, 2011, and started this blog on December 11, 2011.  Every single day since then, I have posted about my stitching, my travels, and about everything I find interesting in Japan. I feel incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to come to Japan, and to be able to stay here.
