| Travelling Japan on a JR rail pass with Millie, John, Tom and we met up with Shelly on her work placement in Kanazawa. We have seen some cool things, met some nice people. Japan is such a varied place. |
 |
| Travelling to a tropical island to the south of Kagoshima, called Yakashima. Its famous for its thousands of years old cedar trees but we never got around to seeing them... |
 |
| Hiroshima Peace Memorial. Many origami cranes that make up a peace message. |
 |
| We visited many huge cities like Osaka and Fukuoka. They were all pretty lively with street kitchens at nights and music. |
 |
| Shikoku- Iya valley where we climbed over an old vine bridge and checked out the waterfalls in the national park. |
 |
| Kyoto Gion Matsuri Festival. "This festival originated as part of a purification ritual (goryo-e) to appease the gods thought to cause fire, floods and earthquakes." |
 |
| Sea turtle nesting ground on Yakashima. We missed out on seeing them lay eggs at night, you have to reserve a place to see them. unfair! |
 |
| Aso Active Volcano. Amazing. |
 |
| Miyajima shrine. Deers wandering around, standard! |
 |
| We arrived on Naoshima Art Project Island just before a typhoon. Bugger so we were pretty much trapped in our hostel (a shipping crate) until it died down after two days and we got a ferry straight off! http://www.benesse-artsite.jp/en/about/ |
 |
| Of course we had to see the Pokamon centre in Osaka and saw it on tv in our hotel. Bring it back to english channels!!! |
