Japan is amazing. It is a country of ancient shrines, super modern amenities and transportation, and a beautiful countryside including the magnificent Mt Fuji.
It’s easy to get around and one can go from one end of the country to another via the bullet trains.
The Japanese way of combining architecture and landscapes provides scenes that can set the busy modern mind to rest.
Nagoya Castle
three story pagoda at Kiyomizu-dera in Kyoto
some sculptures
Kinkaku-ji in Kyoto, also known as the Golden Pavillion
some historical stuff from Gifu Castle. Gifu is a smaller town in Japan and I recommend both the second tier cities (Osaka, Kyoto and Nagoya) and smaller cities.
More pictures from Gifu Castle.
Tokyo is huge and overwhelming but definitely is a world class city. Above are two pictures from Tokyo. The winter season lights in the Roppongi neighborhood of Tokyo were beautiful.
