Various attractions in Kyoto including some of the most famous temples in Japan.

Odawara Castle

Odawara Castle was the seat of Oda Nobunagu's power in the 16th century, it was also his strong hold as he sought to conquer Japan. The interior is now a museum housing a variety of relics for the samurai era. Unfortunately no photos are allowed within, but managed to snap a few regardless.

Fish Dr.

While in Yokohama waiting for a friend I decided to kill some time with a visit to the so called "Fish Dr." A school of tiny fish that nip away dead skin. While a somewaht unconventional 'medical practice' it was an expiereince well worth 1,000 yen.

Snow Monkeys

I spent the past weekend traveling to Jigokudani, in Nagano prefecture, to catch a glimpse of the famed "snow monkeys" bathing in the local hot springs. the long trip was well worth the effort.
