Taking a trip with my daughter before her marriage, Iwaki’s ancient history
My daughter was soon to be married. I wanted to show her Iwaki City, where I was born and raised. With my wife, the three of us took our last trip together before she was married. I had moved to Tokyo from the time I attended university, and this was also my own homecoming since my last visit 10 years earlier.
