Mount Fuji!

We did it! We climbed Mount Fuji! It was definitely the hardest physical activity I have done, but it was an incredible experience. We were smiling the whole way, joking around, making friends and enjoying the view of the clouds... It was amazing.

Fushimi Inari

If you've seen Memoires of a Geisha you may recognise this place... There is a scene where the young girl is running through hundreds of red tori gates, and it is a fairly popular tourist spot in Kyoto. Fushimi Inari Taisha Temple. It is a beautiful, peaceful place.

Hiking in Nara: Mt Takatori

We have recently got really into hiking! In practice for Fuji-san (we are going this month...) we bought a new hiking bag and have been practicing. But, this hike may be the best thing we've done in Japan so far.. It was incredibly beautiful.

A Weekend in Tokyo

We recently spent another weekend in Tokyo - for a reason you know but I don't want to post on the internet! It's great to be in the huge city, walk around and see a variety of things...
