The daily grind is real, although amongst all the setbacks, if you keep turning up, there are bound to be wins, no matter how small. Today I was very humbled to be featured on JNTO UK’s ‘Postcards from Japan’ series of people living in Japan. This means that there are indeed people out there interested in what I am doing, and it helps keep me motivated to turn up each day.
I intend to keep making content like the 100 Famous Mountains of Yamagata Project and this blog for two main reasons; first is to help put this area on the map, it’s just too beautiful a place to not feature, and second because I enjoy making this stuff. Especially with video creation I am learning a lot, and I do feel that my writing is getting better, and I am trying to build a resource that is useful for anyone interested in life in northern Japan, yamabushi, and travel to off the beaten path places in Japan. You just have to keep turning up.
