In May of 2024 my wife and I joined a group of her friends on a golf junket to Japan. A van/bus was rented and we drove, over several days and several overnight stop-overs, from Tokyo to near Nagoya. We had lots of fun and saw a lot of amazing things . . . and ate a lot of great Japanese food . . . lots of it! While the group played golf I set off to explore the surrounding area with my camera. This entry, unlike others here, is not a chronological account of the whole trip, but "only" a collection of favorite images.
At a tourist trap bathroom stop I took this amazing photo of Mt. Fuji with late spring colors in the foreground. Magical.
I spent one morning with a Japanese man, another "golf widow," exploring the temples we found on GoogleMaps. Fantastic beauty. . .
A trip highlight was a frightening ride up a steep mountain on a cable-car. The view was astounding!
Transportation options around an ancient royal Japanese temple complex.
Japanese use of color and aesthetics are impressive.
