To welcome the spring of 2007, I spent two days in Kyoto on April 7-8 for some cherry blossom viewing. After going for the autumn leaves last fall, I’d told myself I had to come back in spring too, and w…
I’ve gathered some of my personal favorites from the photos I took in Onomichi. Tyrannosaurus A Stegosaurus, if I remember right The very idea of building a dinosaur park inside a factory was fun. Judg…
I used a rare long weekend to visit Onomichi. Onomichi is a port town about 80 km from Hiroshima, and like Okayama it’s a transport hub with an expressway linking Shikoku to the mainland. The main goal o…
