Sunset at Kegon Falls
This week my brother is in town, so we took a short trip up to the town of Nikko together. Located in Tochigi Prefecture, Nikko is a fairly famous place in Japan. It has a lot of history behind it, with many old temples, although my brother and I went primarily for the purpose of enjoying the beautiful nature. The area around Nikko is filled with great hiking spots and breathtaking scenery, including some magnificent...
Satte Cherry Blossom Festival
I’ve shared many photos here before from cherry blossom season in Japan, but many of these photos come from Tokyo.

Fuji From The Air
During my flight down to Okayama a couple of weeks back, we had the luck of passing by Fuji in clear enough weather to see it. Seeing Fuji from the ground is spectacular enough, but seeing it from the air is something really special. Although I couldn’t see it out of my own window (my seat was on the other side) I was fortunate enough to be on a rather sparse flight, so I rushed...
