Kyoto NHK ESS 2nd Practice Jan 24, 2026
"A Walk" (=Strolling / Sanpo)
Genre: Casual Talk, Discussion
Grouping: Groups of 3-4 people
1. Your Daily Walks
- Where do you walk?
- How long do you walk?
- Who(what) do you walk with?
- When do you walk?
- How often do you walk?
- What do you do while walking?
- Why do you take a walk?
2. Future Walks
- Where would you like to walk?
- What kind of scenery would you like to see while walking?
- What would you like to think about while walking?
3. Most memorable walk
Walking experiences stay with me for a long time. For example, when I spend weeks in foreign countries (like the US), I don't clearly remember what I did for work, I just remember simple walks around the hotel on the weekend. Every single thing I saw -- even the most ordinary sights in the local city or stopping by a local library -- remains vivid in my mind.
Likewise, what is your most memorable walk? Can you share that?
4. Recommended Walking Plan
What kind of walking route or plans would you suggest to others? For example, a riverside walk to catch a beautiful sunset (or sunrise)? Exploring the underground hidden paths? Or just a quick walk to the convenience store a few minutes away and return home? Any idea is welcome.
5. Life is like a walk...
Perhaps life itself is a kind of walk. It doesn't always need a specific purpose or objective. It is about wandering here and there, dropping by interesting places, meeting people along the way -- whether we are walking alone or with someone. Enjoy^^
Note:
Basically I prefer to use the word "walk" rather than "walking" since I have a different impression between them. To me, "walk (or a walk)" sounds like strolling, whereas "walking" sounds more like exercise or training. However, let's not be too strict about it. For our discussion both can mean 散歩.
