Kento-and-Mie

Hi, postcrossers all over the world!

I am Mie, a mother to Kento - a junior high school student.

This account used to be a personal one of mine (Mie_) before.

However, I'm sharing it with my son, starting April 2015.

I hope my son gets to know more similarities / differences between countries through postcrossing:)

Please keep in mind, that both of us read your postcard messeges, and either of us is sending postcards to you.

We live in Kasugai, near Nagoya. Nagoya is one of the largest cities and located in the central area of Japan. Toyota Motors is located in this area, so I would say it's an industrial area.

Nagoya has lots of historical spots. Powerful samurai daimyo warlords like Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi were born in Nagoya.

I enjoy visiting historical spots and watching historical TV dramas.

My son, Kento plays soccer in his school team.
