Guess the Japanese train station
The first person to guess which train station in Japan I took today’s photo at wins a virtual pat on the back.

Oiran (花魁)
My co-star from earlier in the day sauntering through the streets of Nikko Edo Wonderland…
The shop behind her is selling senbei (せんべい).
Mt. Mitake hike
Even though I have loads of hiking opportunities now that I’m back home in Oregon, I miss hikes like this one near Tokyo. There is something special about leaving the center of the ultimate metropolis of Tokyo by train in the morning and arriving at scenery like this on the trail up Mt. Mitake just a short time later.
Yomiuriland roller coaster
Today’s photo of Ryan was my view as the Japanese ride operators waived goodbye to us on the Bandit Roller Coaster at Yomiuri Land. Moments later we could see all of Tokyo before plunging into the abyss.
Loudness
My random wallpaper of the day is this one–Loudness in Tokyo at Loudpark 2009. This was one of their first shows, maybe even their first show, with Masayuki Suzuki (鈴木政行) on drums.
Thatched-roof (kayabukiyane or 茅葺屋根)
Shirakawago Mura is probably covered in deep snow at this time of year. Someday I will visit during the winter. Summer is beautiful, too, with the rice paddies making the ground a lush green.
