Ayukawa city, capital of Ayukawa Prefecture and Nakahara 4th largest metropolitan area poured with heavy snow.


Today its really white I mean everywhere is white.... because of snow. Its really freezing here now, lets see how cold it is... it's -3C.



Well its in the south of Mitaka Station, one of the most dense district in Ayukawa here but its seems no much activity outside... maybe because its holiday already? or maybe because of the weather?



hmm seems nobody at park at this moment....



In the bridge of Kirigawa River here. The river's water seems very cold at this moment... waw.



Now in the Kirigawa-cho. well nothing much to do here actually



Lets go to Mitaka station area. there should be something better to do here since its one of the city's major hub and there're many stuff can be done here like shoping, karaoke etc....



bari...bari...ban..ban.... now available in Nakahara.....

Hello Atusko-sama,

I love your work/diary!

I have 2 questions please - in one of your pictures (see attached) - there is a rock/mountain path.  Is it transit enabled (ie people can walk on it)?  And please where can I download these rocks/mountains paths?  It looks realistic/amazing.

Thank you and keep up your good works on diaries!

"From Akashima 5 months later...."

Akashima, January 10 2015

From: Konae Fumiko (@fmkko45)
To: Miyazawa Mizuki (@mizukimiya930)

Hey how are you? its already very cold here lately in Akashima, we have plently snowfall earlier this month. I think Shinkyo have better temperature than here since it located more to the north. Anyway I still in new year holiday now, school start at next Monday so well its the end of my holiday here hahaha.....



I just remembered when we still in elementary school in Shinkyo, before my family move due to my father task. do you still remembered when we play in snow winter until it was dark already... what a memory lol. Oh btw I just moved into a new house, but still not far from the apartment we rent beforehand. I can still see it everyday when going to school or downton.



How is your holiday? what are you doing in new year? I had plenty boring holiday maybe in my opinion, being trapped in the house all since the holiday started XD... However I got a good new year, going around the city watching the countdown, you know there is some firework too here in this city but not as big as previous year since we still recovering from the disaster 5 month ago.



5 months ago the earthquake was very hardly hit my place here, thank god me and my family here okay and safed since we live in northern part of Akashima which barely affected by earthquake. There are some minor damage around my area here like some glass broke but thankfully nothing badly damaged.



But too bad with what happened in the south. I have some friend which affected badly with the earthquake, it's so sad to heard the story though. I can't even imagine how people in southern part of city when the disaster happened, too scary, I just can send pray to them. I hope this horrible disaster won't happened anymore here and anywhere else.





Anyway lets now wake up as the city begun to rebuild. Yesterday I can see how the city recover. There were many major redevelopment around the city. It's really incredible how fast the city recovered from the disaster.



Let's talk about other thing now, guess what? I have tried the new train in this city, well it's actually the same usual route to the school but it has new cabs. I like the new one design, or maybe just because its new hahahaha..

Anyway thats all I want to write now. I want to heard about your story too in Shinkyo, reply my email as soon as possible okay. ヾ(@^▽^@)ノ


your friend in Akashima

Author note:
- I'm new to this kind of updates so I suggestion and critics are very welcome here.
- the email address is fake (obviously lol)

[ﾕﾐーちゃん]

Great update! I am glad to see that Akashima recovered the tsunami and the earthquake quickly, I hope that they weren't too many losses...

I have been looking for those construction sites EVERYWHERE! Do you know where I could find them?

[Themistokles]

Great looking city and construction sites. The e-mail format gives more life to the story, for instance now we know why there are so many construction sites. For someone like me, living in a country without earthquakes , it's not something I'd guess just seeing the pictures, so it's really interesting to hear.

[vester]

Another great update. 

[Fasan]

Beautiful pictures! Since every picture I like. Simply great work! 

[romualdillo]
