Sho River
Ryan & Ellie crossing the Shō River (庄川 or Shō-gawa)
You would think that the river running alongside Shirakawago would be called the Shirakawa (白川). However, it isn’t. Instead it is called the Sho River, and if the place wasn’t amazing enough without a river running through it… well, let’s just say a more beautiful place couldn’t be created in fantasies.
Shinjuku (and Mt. Fuji)
Tokyo, Japan
I have shown this scene (the Mt. Fuji piece anyway) zoomed in a couple times before. Today’s pic is a much more general overview of the bulk of Shinjuku Ku with the main Shinjuku skyscraper buildings in the distant center, a bit of Nakano Ku in the distance to the right and a bit of Shibuya Ku in the distance to the left.

天祖神社
In just over two weeks I will be back in Japan. I won’t get to visit my old stomping grounds near Waseda University until August, but when pics like the one above come up as my desktop image of the day I feel 懐かしい.
