Good weather, lovely new guests and our regular guests has made my days during the first half of Golden Week holiday! There are no guests today, so I’m cutting the grass in the garden. The sun shines through new green leaves! The azaleas were already past their peak, and the bletilla orchids are in bloom now. It is one of the busiest season, and the tourist destinations in and around Shirahama are very crowded, but in Konichi-an, it’s like a new world where time moves at a relaxed pace....
