天祖神社
On this bike ride I happened upon another Tenso Jinja (ancestral Sun Goddess shrine). I didn’t realize until then that the one by my apartment in Nishi Waseda wasn’t unique. Are they all over the place in Japan, or are there only the two (Shinjuku and Otsuka)?
Nikko's Rinnoji (輪王寺) in the snow
Few places on the planet are as nice as Nikko on a snowy day. While this photo isn’t yet seasonal, it won’t be too long now.
Paragliding in Hakuba, Japan
Hakuba is a beautiful place to enjoy nature in Japan. If you can’t find something to do on the valley floor you can always turn to the lakes, mountains, or sky.
Birds flying over Jogashima, Japan
A nice, little, day trip from Tokyo (or Yokohama) is Castle Island or Jogashima (城ヶ島). You won’t find any Japanese castles here, but you will likely encounter many birds.
The Village of Shirakawa (白川村)
One of my favorite places on the planet, when a photo of Shirakawa shows up as my random desktop image of the day, you can count on me to share it with you.
Festival at 天祖神社
Although the heat in the summer in Japan can be brutal, the evening festivals can make for an enjoyable end to otherwise miserably hot days. Today’s photo is from one of the many matsuri I attended at Tenso Jinja near our apartment in Tokyo.
