At the beginning of April, Mike and I headed to Japan for a week. It was high time we went there since it's so close and flights are so cheap! My school holidays aligned perfectly with cherry blossom season which was lovely. However, it was also incredibly rainy which made it a more difficult trip at times. Here are a few shots of spots in and around Kyoto - Fushimi Inari Shrine, Nara to visit the deer, geisha spotting in Gion, and Arashiyama bamboo forest.

  4. How lovely! The photos of the tame deer at Nara made me think you went to Miya Jima as they have very friendly deer there as well. Beautiful photos.

  9. Gah, these are so beautiful. Eric and I have been trying to figure out where to take a trip to once the wedding season is over this year, and these photos make me think even more that Japan just might be our best option. (coupled with a few other countries in that general area!)
