Take me to a Coastline.... Ikitsuki

Places we have been before, steps we have taken, paths we have walked—- But sometimes a revisit opens your Soul, a deja-vu of that first sight…

Before Husband deployed, on what we hope will be his LAST one for a while, we cruised out to places we were allowed (Covid Restrictions), some of these being favorites we discovered our first year here on Kyushu Island. Ikitsuki has such amazing coastlines… From drop off cliffs carved by the sea, to lush greenery blanketing the hills all around, the scenes are epic…. On this particular day, I was aching to get out—- The pull to get away from the Base, the town, somewhere only nature is speaking, it grabs hold of me and does not release until the urge is satisfied… Can you relate??

The Island provides so much area to run, be free… Our multiple trips out here have been almost silent, passing few cars, waving to maybe a handful of locals. I feel like we were actually lucky to have the perfect grey after the rain, some mist and fog to show off those true greens of Japan. The Wet Season truly pulls at my heartstrings. I have fallen in Love.
