Hiroshima Peace Memorial (AKA Atomic Bomb Dome or Genbaku Dōmu)
When I visited the Atomic Bomb Dome in 2013, work was being done on it. The construction was not to bring it back to its former, pre WW2 state; instead, it was to keep it from falling to pieces during an earthquake.

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

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.
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.
