Hokkaido, October, 2006 |
Since my parents and sister came to visit Japan once I again, I decided to introduce them to Hokkaido. Now, the only major Japanese island they have not been to is Okinawa. After their next trip, I won't know what to do. |

Gifu Precture, October, 2005 |
While the main purpose of my trip to Gifu Prefecture was to visit my friend's wedding, Yuka and I also took time to stop by a few sights. While this is an area of Japan that most foreigners would not visit, I had a good excuse to check it out. |

Yakushima, October, 2004 |
Yakushima (Yaku Island) was designated as Japan first UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993. The island's natural environment is unlike anything I had ever seen before. When living in Tokyo, it is easy to forget that Japan possesses such beautiful places as Yakushima. |

Kushiro, Hokkaido. July, 2004 |
Visiting Hokkaido for two days is admittedly very silly, but that is what I did in July, 2004. Although not sufficient to see even a small part of Hokkaido, we managed to visit some beautiful spots. And then we ate lots of sashimi. |

Kyoto & Osaka. September, 2003 |
Kyoto is Japan's former capital and is the place to visit for taste of old Japan. Located just a short train ride away is Osaka, Japan second largest city. I visited both in September, with the particular goal of seeing the famous danjiri festival. |

Shikoku.
July, 2003 |
Shikoku's economy is larger than South-Korea, and has a population of 4,200,000 people. Being the last major island in Japan that I have not visited, I decided to travel there for a long weekend in July. My goal was to see Shimanto-gawa, Japan's last undammed river. |
