We Moved to Tanegashima
The decision to move to Tanegashima was a bit of a
surprise for family and friends, although they are pretty
much used to me doing these kinds of "crazy" things. We went
through a lot to get to this place, including four
international moves. The moves, the island
house, and getting set up, all proved to be very challenging
but the benefits of being on this island were worth the
difficulties.
I decided to put our Tanegashima story online in order to
provide additional
information about the island (information in English is
minimal at best) including small points which
you cannot find elsewhere online. These small
details might prove useful to those of you planning to visit Tanegashima or even to travelers to other places in Japan. I
am hoping these pages might also serve as inspiration for those of
you who are contemplating moving to a new place and a bit
nervous.
Hopefully you enjoy our story. Thank you for joining us on
our ongoing island adventure. We want to thank our friends
on Tanegashima for all of the good memories on the island.

A REAL CHALLENGE FOR LAST WEEKEND.
Actually went to this bridge and faced a fear of heights and went across and
back again. Tanise Suspension Bridge is one of Japan's longest steel-wire
suspension bridges, located in the Tanise/Uenoji area in northern Totsukawa. It
was built in 1954 and is 54m….177 feet high, and 297m….975 feet long. Sure was
nice to drink beer after doing this.
