Ride Through The Bikan
This photo comes from my family’s trip to Okayama Prefecture several weeks back. I didn’t include it in the Kurashiki Evening post, I’m not sure why, but anyway I like it a lot.

The area around Nikko is filled with great hiking spots and breathtaking scenery, including some magnificent...
