#TGIF to fellow #fediversers 🙏 - it's a bright and sunny Friday now in #Bangkok 😊. Sharing an old photo I took on another bright sunny day, in beautiful #Chiran old town of #Kagoshima on #Kyushu, #Japan - this was in the vicinity of old Chiran Samurai Residences #Gardens Street aka Chiran Bukeyashiki #知覧 武家屋敷通り. 😋Tip: "mossy" green chiran-cha is a hedonistic #umami brew. #mastophoto #mosstodon #moss #sencha
