Where do you play?
It's easy to keep your social distance when you live in the countryside (by easy I only mean the physical part). We're going hiking in the Kirishima mountains regularly. Where do you go if you live far from the mountains and the sea? What are your biggest worries and your biggest troubles in the time of (lifted) lockdown? Below is a photo from the top of Ebinodake from our last trip.

I console myself with the local park and bicycle rides to the Edo River, both of which are close by. I don't know when I'll be able to take a train journey of more than 15 minutes to a location other than work. I tolerate my brief commute because the train isn't packed on my stretch of the route, and the windows are open in every car. I also avoid touching any surface while onboard. I can't imagine riding on a crowded train, doing norikae through throngs of people.

We are very lucky that we live in the countryside. We are unfortunately miles from the sea, but we have dozens of rivers, hills and mountains where we have been hanging out since the outbreak began. We haven't been anywhere indoors (except a cabin we rented one night) since early March. Thank goodness for Mother Nature's playground :-)

Our place is a few minutes drive to the city park but it gets crowded especially on nice weather days. Good thing we found some mini parks around the area that doesn’t get crowded at all. Also, a few steps from our house is a big open where summer festivals, flea markets and other events are held. On regular days, people can freely go there for leisure. It is big enough to bike around or play soccer.
