東長谷寺 flowers

Tokyo, Japan

Today’s photo is my random, desktop image of the day and seems appropriate given that tomorrow is Valentine’s Day. I took this when I was with my sweetheart in Shinjuku nearly seven years ago. I believe we were on one of the walks in this book.

Kakuenbo

Shosenkyo

Today’s photo is of a non-famous angle of famous Kakuenbo in Shosenkyo. The famous vantage point is this one.

Slurp Ramen Joint

@ramenadventures

My summer just got better. There were a few ramen places in Copenhagen last summer. “Ramen to Biiru” is just OK. The other one I went to (don’t remember the name) was closed for the summer. I’m really looking forward to trying Slurp Ramen Joint in a few months. This place is right next to where I lived last summer. Unfortunately, it will be a 20-minute bike ride from where I will be living this summer.

I’ve been a big fan of Brian’s blogs and videos for almost 10 years now. My wife and daughter ran into him at The Bone about eight years ago.

Koyasan’s Kongobuji

6-photo photomerge of Koyasan's Kongobuji between storms

Should you ever find yourself on Koyasan, here is a little secret. Everyone is eating breakfast and dinner (in their shukubo) at about the same time. Set your meal time to be on the edge of those times (first or last). If first, head out immediately after eating to find deserted, instead of crowded, temples and shrines. If last, explore just before eating. You’ll be amazed at how much better a temple site can look and feel when you are the only one there.

Long way to the top

One is the loneliest number...

When you don’t make the 25-man roster, the 40-man roster, or even the 100-man roster, and coach sends you out to left field to shag balls, by yourself.
