Hello everyone! My name is Gary and I am a writer from the U.K., now living in Kawachinagano, Osaka Prefecture. I am lucky to have been given the unique opportunity to go behind the scenes here at Nanten-en. Not only will I get to learn about the day to day running of a traditional Japanese Inn, but also the etiquette and traditions that are so important when working in a historical place such as this. I hope to write about the things that I learn about Japanese Culture as well as the history of this magnificent building. I also hope to bring you tales about the many interesting events, places and people of Amami and Kawachinagano as a whole. I look forward to speaking with you all! Gary
