Funiculi Funicula

Funiculi Funicula is a novel by Toshikazu Kawaguchi, first published in 2015.
It tells the story of a mysterious café where customers can travel back in time — but only if they follow specific rules.

I read this book between late 2023 and early 2024, and it left a lasting impression about time, regret, and second chances.

💭 Lessons Learned

This book reminds me that while we can’t actually change the past, we can change our understanding of it.
Every moment of regret can transform into peace when we learn to accept what happened and express what was once left unsaid.
It also taught me that small human connections — even brief ones — can last forever in memory.
