Akiko’s Home Town

Today we went to Akiko’s home town, where her parents still live above their family electronics store. Bungo Takada is almost on the coast and is popular historic town. After visiting Akiko’s parents, we walked through the town, where all the shops have historical objects in their windows and where many shops and shop owners are the same ones who were there when Akiko was a child. We then went to  the toy museum. 
A TV series, set in 1966, “Sakamichi no Apollonia” or “Kids on the Slope” was filmed here, and Akiko’s family shop was in the film. 









We had lunch at a restaurant beside the sea.
