Adventures in Japan: Sights from the Land of the Rising Sun

Here are some images capturing only a few of the highlights from my Japan travels earlier this year. Of note was a visit with Hiroshima bombing survivor Sadae Kasaoka, who spent over an hour with us, and seeing the “Atomic Bomb Dome,” a surviving building that was the Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall. There was also sumo wrestlers, cherry blossoms in full bloom and clear views of Mt. Fuji, fast trains, peaceful temples, plenty of food and even a visit to a sake brewery – plus, of course, meetings with friendly people.
