Apparently, this is a very popular wall of signs for tourists. I followed the crowd and snapped this picture. Looks like a certain somewhat famous tower in Tokyo, doesn’t it? A view of Mt. Fuji from afar.

Here’s the marquee of the Capital Theatre in Port Hope. Here are some pictures of houses with their Christmas lights:
Hakone (November 5th)
Autumn is finally here! I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves…
Road trip (October 11th – 12th)
A mere 300 kilometers from the house to Ooarai Sun Beach.  Here’s how it looked just after sunrise. Small but getting bigger. At around 7 am, the crew and I got in the water. The waves were a reasonable size and the new fins seemed to work well. Caught lots of waves in the morning. […]
Kobe siteseeing
While having a few drinks and appetizers in the hotel lounge, I looked at a Kobe guidebook. It mentioned that there are many western houses that are popular with Japanese tourists, but that the only place worth seeing is this shrine. Here are a few pictures: We were quite disappointed to be honest. Perhaps because […]
Nunobiki Falls

Kobe Night View
This year we spent my birthday in Kobe. This was our first time to go siteseeing in Kobe city. We stayed at a great hotel near Kobe station with a wonderful view of the city and the harbour.
Soufuku Temple (Soufuku-ji)
The last place we visited in Nagasaki was Soufuku-ji. This is a temple that was built by a Chinese monk in 1692. Two of the buildings have been designated as national treasures.
Confucius Shrine (Koushi-byo)
We also visited Confucius Shrine (Kyoushi-byo) – it is the only shrine dedicated to Confucius outside of China that was built by Chinese. The original shrine was built in 1893 but was destroyed by the bombings of the Second World War. The shrine was completed renovated in 1982.
