I think this is why Buddhist monks lived so long. Only the hardiest specimens survived these stairs.

In Koishikawa Kōrakuen Garden (小石川後楽園).

#Walking the Okōchi Sansō #Garden, #Arashiyama, #Kyoto, #Japan. The place is absolutely beautiful, but considering its size, the length of the trail, and all the elevation changes, it felt more like a hike than a garden stroll. 😄

Flowers and Gardens, Exploring Shikoku Island in Japan

I am finishing up spending a month in the small town of ~7,000 people called Kothira, which is also home to the oldest Kabuki theater in Japan! I came here for cherry blossom season and to continue my burn-out recovery away from huge cities. I can't really say if Kotohira was too small or not. It possibly was, but I made some good connections with the people staying and volunteering at Kotori Coworking and Hostel. I'd like to share some photos from that time. [...]

The final photo (for now at least) from my recent trip to Japan. In the town of Uji is the historic Byodo-in Temple, a Japanese national treasure. The temple was built in 1053 and houses a Buddha statue from that era. The building is so treasured, that it appears on the 10 yen coin. The temple and its gardens are so beautiful. I liked the framing of the temple between the trees with the reflection in the water below.

A quick visit to the Cherry Blossom (Hanami) festival at the World Museum in #Leiden.

The outdoor market was smaller but also remarkably less crowded than the other #JapaneseMarket that is held at the #Rapenburg in July. A very nice atmosphere topped off with a brief visit to the #Hortus with its #ChineseGarden and #JapaneseGarden
