Japan revels in the transience and the beauty of its seasons, and I was extremely fortunate to grow up in the heart of its cultural center. My husband and I had a chance to catch some of the most scenic parts of Fall during our visit to Western Japan at the end of November this year. Enjoy some of the fantastic pictures we took from Minoh mountains and Himeji Castle in Osaka, and Arashiyama and several major temples in central Kyoto!
And as I leave you with delicious and cultural eye-candy, dear reader, I wish you a happy and healthy new year!
