What a cute photo! I remember when I went to Akita, I don't remember the name of the flower park I'd have to look it up, but they had a small rabbit enclosure there and it was really neat getting to see them just hopping around munching on carrots and stuff. The place had some really good ice cream as well so that was a big plus. Speaking of ice cream, I just remembered the babahera ice that I had in Akita. That stuff was really good as well. It was like a sort of sherbet I think, but apparently it's only sold by old ladies which is how it got its name. I guess that's an interesting fact that I have to share today. If you're ever in Akita be sure to keep an eye out for it. I think I tried it somewhere around Lake Tazawa

I'm really digging the symmetry in this photo. It's really perfect. Also Skytree is awesome so there's that too! I really wanted to visit Asakusa for New Years but had to avoid it sadly. Was looking forward to visiting Sensoji and enjoying all of the other fun stuff in the area. Last time I went it was a lot of fun. Got to try out some of the food stalls and had a bunch of different things like takoyaki, yakisoba, etc. It's been a while since I went since I went to Skytree as well but maybe I can head over there again sometime soon and see the beautiful night view again. Plus Asakusa is always a fun to place to go and get some food anyways!

Todaiji Temple is so awesome. I remember the first time I went there. I had a professor in college (awesome guy btw) who told the class about his trip there when he was doing research and he told us how massive the temple was. He showed us a picture and pointed out how the people looked like ants in front of the temple. I believed him that it was large of course but I figured maybe it was just the photo's perspective making it look larger. Oh boy, was I in for a treat when I actually got to the temple. It was seriously MASSIVE and the incense burner that he mentioned was out front as well so it was cool that I got to experience all of the things that he was able to experience in the past. I guess that's one thing that makes historical places like this so extraordinary- being able to connect with the past without actually being there. I really loved all the small models there as well lol! I'll certainly never forget my trip to Todaiji and I'd love to visit Nara again when I get the chance.

Whoa! Now those are some fireworks! Holy crud, this is insane. I don't think I've ever seen fireworks this bright and colorful and I've been to the Omagari Fireworks Festival before! Didn't know that Mie had such amazing fireworks. All of the good fireworks festivals are so far away from Tokyo ?. Just more reason to explore other areas of Japan though I suppose. Apparently this is the Kihoku Lantern Festival too so I'd get to see some beautiful lanterns on the water as well. Hopefully I can get out some this summer, been cooped up indoors for way too long at this point, and I'm starting to miss the fresh nippon breeze ?. Hopefully spring comes somewhat early this year so I can see some cherry blossoms and drink some plum wine while barbecuing lol!

Wow, what a great photo! Capturing the torii, the Victory? (I don't think it's the Queen Ashinoko at least), and Mt. Fuji all in one shot. I'd love to see this same shot in autumn when the leaves change, I think it'd be really beautiful. I want to go for a cruise on the Ashinoko as well if possible, I think it'd be a really cool idea for a date so I need to look into that lol. Plus I still haven't gotten to see Hakone much so it'd make a great destination to visit next. I guess next time I head south a bit otherwise it's a bit of a long train ride. Either way, I'm looking forward to when the opportunity arises!

I really enjoy seeing these posts showcasing Japanese matchlock guns. Not only do they look cool, they even look cool being fired. The smoke and the muzzle flash make it just completely awesome. I've fired modern day rifles and handguns and stuff like that but I've never gotten the chance to fire something like this. I'd love to try it just to see how it felt. Maybe it's a way to understand the past better as well. Gaining insight on what the samurai of the past would have used, how strong they are, how much kick they have, how they reload, etc. etc. Speaking of the reload and firing, it really looks interesting. I'm not too familiar with how it works but I assume it's muzzle loaded and then the string is used as a fuse? Either way I imagine it's something there are definitely hobbyists for!

なんて美しい写真なんだろう。ポートランドで日本の友情の庭を見たことがあるけど、雰囲気は全く違います。それは異なるスタイルを見て本当にクールです。私は前に西湖のことを聞いたことがなかったが、私はそれのいくつかの写真を見て、それは美しい場所のように見えます.私はパビリオンの建築が非常に似ているのが好きです。今年は冬の景色が楽しそうだけど、ここは桜が見えるみたいな感じ。それや秋の葉。私はチャンスを得たときにこれをチェックしたいと思います。この地域にも面白いレストランがいくつかあるように見えるので、おいしい食べ物が楽しみです!

Ahhhh! I've got to see Soma Nomaoi. It looks cooler and cooler the more I hear about it. Sending signals with a conch is super cool. It sounds like something that you'd hear about in a myth or folklore, but the fact that this was actually used is really interesting. A bit of a tangent, but it's awesome seeing all of the different helmet styles used in Japan. It's not exactly something unique to Japan, but Japan definitely has some of the coolest looking styles. This one kind of reminds me of traditional Japanese lacquerware and I like how it's very sleek and practical. Hopefully I'll be able to check this out this year. I want to visit Fukushima anyways so it'd be great if I could get it all to line up!

Oh my god... this is just breathtaking. It's like a paradise above the clouds. I love all of the different colors of leaves that you can see. The blue skies as a backdrop makes it look like something you'd only find in a movie. I really think this settles it. Japan has the most beautiful scenery of any country I think. This is making me want to put on my boots and go for a hike. I've heard of Mt. Taisen before but I never heard the scenery was this amazing. I really like the pond in the middle too, I wonder if there are any fish in it. It'd be amazing if there were some koi in it or something. That'd just be the icing on the cake lol. Going to have some good dreams of this place tonight!
