I was touched by the warmth of the back alley in Sonezaki. The owner and regulars welcomed me as if I were a long-lost friend.
I was able to experience the true "humanity" of Japan, something not found in guidebooks. The lively atmosphere of the snack bar will be a lifelong memory for me.
It’s a nostalgic town with a mysterious charm that makes you feel at ease. I'm really glad I participated, as I got to experience a deep night out unique to Sonezaki.
