Today we went out around Akishima (Tachikawa-shi, Tokyo), where we could appreciate some countryside-like atmosphere despite it being within Tokyo.

By a road, there was a man raking chestnuts fallen from the trees, and he kindly let me take his picture. A few minutes later after having left, he came running after us to share a few of his chestnuts!

One destination was a bakery/café named Zelkowa. It's truly in the middle of nowhere, but their bread (we got the last one!), scones and coffee were very good. No wonder why customers kept entering every few minutes despite the odd location.
