Day 12 – Chiba adventure 2023
My Chiba adventure didn’t go the way I wanted. In the morning, I was trying to Nihon-ji temple, Where a giant Healing Buddha statue is. Additionally the 1000s of Buddhas in the mountains. The trains were infrequent and switched a couple times and I ended up wasting time. So that part of the adventure ended.
I was also planning to stop by Top Secret, I also kept in my mind to meet with Taguchi and Umezawa-san. While this was the 1st time I would meet them in Chiba, I have met with Taguchi-san when he lived in Yamaguchi (other side of Japan).
This is truly my 1st time in Chiba. I did go to Chiba to ride the monorail in 2018
Once I abandoned the idea of going to Nihon-Ji temple, I started to make way to where Umezawa and Taguchi-san worked. It was off the JR lines and I had to walk a couple miles to their shop, but Taguchi-san picked me up. I was taken to the shop and it was cool to see my brothers again.
They were still working, so I didn’t want to interrupt them. I just wanted to see my brothers since it’s been a few years. Taguchi-san took me to his place were I was also able to see Saito (his girlfriend) and say hello. Then he dropped me off at the local station.
