We are in the midst of rainy season in Japan. The continuous rain may get you down and keep you in the house day after day, but that’s not good for your health! Beautiful hydrangea and Iris blossoms are now in full bloom, so let’s grab our umbrella and take a walk! Checking out colorful rainy-season flowers makes you feel fantastic and is a bright spot during this gloomy season.

Today’s Japanese: “Saa, aruki masho!” = C’mon, let's take a walk! ("saa" = now/C'mon. "aruki" = walk, "masho" = let's)

Stay safe and dry. Enjoy the beautiful blossoms of rainy season in Japan!
