On January 7, 2023, my family and I enjoyed a meal at Hatsuhana Café Restaurant. This marked my 432nd day in Japan as an ALT through the JET Programme. While I had previously dined at Hatsuhana Café Restaurant with Mr. Toshi and his family during our road trip to Wakayama City on January 10, 2022, this was my first visit with my family. What made this occasion truly special was being able to share it with our Japanese family and friends once again.
