The sky was bright and calm, and somehow the air felt lighter compared to the past week of harsh winter weather. My family and I decided to take advantage of the good weather and drive to Hokuryu ( 北竜町 ) for a relaxing dip at Sunflower Park Hokuryu Hot Spring , which is part of the Hokuryu Roadside Station .

There were a lot of things on sale, but my wife was quite focused on what she wanted to buy, and she made sure we did not overspend on today's groceries.  Jabba Laundromat In the afternoon, we headed to Jabba Laundromat to dry our laundry. It has become p...
