Japan part I -- "My kind of Asia"


Intricate Shinto shrines around Tokyo take you back centuries


Entering one of the many cozy traditional restaurants we sampled (hope you like seafood!)


Our first three nights were in tradiational ryokan (spare, graceful, tatami-matted inns)


Soaking in the onsen (hot springs) high in the mountains


The end of an amazingly lush six mile hike through Nikko Nat'l Park
