Well, the Blog for the Hochner Family. We were living in Tokyo, Japan, but are now located in the South of France. Thursday, December 29, 2005. We’ve been silent for the last two weeks because we were traveling. It is not always easy to take care of a blog from a hotel room without Internet. We’ll try to do better next time. We spent a quick 12 days in France, between Paris, Marseilles, Nice, Cannes, and again Paris. We shared our time between friends, family and visits. Busy, busy, busy. You can see Aki...

Hochner Family Blog: Inn - Around Fujigoko

http://hochner.blogspot.com/2009/04/inn-around-fujigoko.html

Well, the Blog for the Hochner Family. We were living in Tokyo, Japan, but are now located in the South of France. Monday, April 13, 2009. Inn - Around Fujigoko. I always found that in Japan, the colors of the end of Falls were spectacular. Here a traditional inn at sunset. I love the little deck of traditionnal Japanese country houses that are meant to allow you to just relax, have a cup of tea or simply read a few pages, while standing in front of a garden that is usually very well taken care of.

Well, the Blog for the Hochner Family. We were living in Tokyo, Japan, but are now located in the South of France. Friday, April 07, 2006. The oldest castle still standing in Japan. While in the Fukui prefecture, we took the time to visit this nice little wonder. Located on a high hill above Maruoka Town, this castle is also known as Kasumi ga Jo ("Mist Castle") because a legend tells that whenever an enemy approached the castle, a thick mist would appear and hide it to protect it in time of battle.

Well, the Blog for the Hochner Family. We were living in Tokyo, Japan, but are now located in the South of France. Sunday, July 11, 2010. It’s been four years since we left Japan to return to France. From time to time, I check out my old pictures taken in Japan et I must admit feeling some kind of nostalgia. The fact that we have not returned to Japan this year makes all this more sensitive. One can quickly understand the purpose of these steeply pitched thatched roofs. Wonderful houses, wonderful villag...
