Hullo.

I know it's been ages, but a lot of things happened ....

( Why I almost didn't make it to Japan .... )


EVERYTHING seemed to be against me going to Japan this time and I have no idea why.

It's a miracle that this vacation even happened, but it did.
And since I've annoyed you enough with my blabbering, let's move on to the actual vacation:

( From Halloween in Shibuya off to walking the pilgrimage trail Kumano Kodo )



After slowly walking my way (using parts of the Kumano Kodo) from Mie to Wakayama I finally travelled back to Mie.

Mt. Gozaisho near Tsu was quite impressive. The autumn colors there were lovely and different from what you're used to as there were no maple leaves but lots of other trees! :)

( Lots and lots of onsen this time! )



You know you're in Japan when .................. ;)

( This tiny island near Tokyo is paradise? )


This was really just a very small selection of photos.
If you follow me on social media you've probably seen them all and more.
I'll also eventually post them on "Zooming Japan".


Stay tuned for the "shopping and food haul" entry.


Bye~chuu
