Springtime Sakura in the Deep South

Bathtime in Japan
... in a hot bath! So it's off in the bus to the local bathhouse, which the Japanese call an onsen. But a good soak in Japan is a bit different to one in the UK ..... There is a code of behaviour to be observed in an onsen. It's not exactly a set ...

Feed the soil, and it will feed you
Good evening. I am relaxing and listening to Radiohead (faust arp) and reflecting on my day. Perfect time for blogging! This morning started out with group exercise, as usual. I don't think I've mentioned this before. Every weekday morning ...
Black castle of the crows in the Japan Alps

'The Wave' and a distinct lack of money!
... rail pass, we zoomed off to Obuse, near the Japanese alps, north west of Tokyo. This involved first getting the bullet train to Nagano, then getting a local train to Obuse, the smallest town in that area. It was a very attractive little place, with pretty ...
Matsumoto

Hot springs, tea tricks and another year older...

The Difficulties of Wildlife Photography
... , then we take a couple more trains to get to the small station at Nagiso. This is the first rural area I've seen in Japan, after the sprawling cities further west, which seemed to join onto one another. Today, we have an easy walk planned along a section ...
