Calling Home: Tony Everitt in Atami, Japan

From Sunday Morning, 9:40 am on 30 April 2023

Heritage Hiking Tour Guide Tony Everitt talks about life in Atami, Japan where he has been living with his wife for eight years. 

The region has stunning natural and cultural heritage, is a UNESCO Geopark which means it has active volcanoes and hot springs (including one in his bathroom) and beautiful flora & fauna.

70% of Japan's land area has been planted in indigenous forest as they furiously suck carbon out of the air.

Atami is on Japan's 60-year-old main trunk bullet train line, Tokaido, which can get Tony to Tokyo station in 45 minutes travelling at 285kph. 

Tony is Calling Home from Atami and shares his life with Sunday Morning.
