While walking around Nagamachi, the neighbourhood around my house, I saw some persimmons hanging over an old samurai wall.
The area is usually filled with tourists, but that day it was serenely quiet. It was as if I stepped back 200 years...Except, I had my cell phone out to snap a pic of this delicious-looking fruit. (Actually, I never heard of persimmons until I came here)
Lucky I had my phone out and on camera mode, because as I crossed the canal. A giant heron swooped down and slowly walked under the bridge I was standing on to search for fish.
And he caught one!!! Unbelievable! He speared it with his beak. It was an interesting walk through Nagamachi.
