Let me tell you 'bout a little place called Choshi...

In a video, of course!  





Here's the gist of the video for those who want a summary:

Choshi is a small city of 73,000 people lurking in the shadows of the great metropolis, Tokyo.  It stands surrounded by water on three sides, facing the Tonegawa river whose waters flow out towards the Pacific Ocean.  The city itself is relatively urban, with homes clustered about in tight spaces, though you don't often see too many people outside unless there's a big event.  This lends to the city a nice, quiet, rural feel, giving you the benefits of both city and country living at the same time.  If you're ever itching for some city action, Tokyo is just a 2 hour train ride away, so you'll need to make a day trip out of it--just like you probably would going into Philadelphia.


 Turns out the footage I took wasn't nearly long enough to capture all I wanted to say.  Here some pictures of the various cool sites around Choshi.  

*Note the restaurant in the second picture; it also made an appearance in the Choshi Primer music video, and will soon be getting its own dedicated blog post :-)
