Images of Japan,
especially Japanese nature, will be on these pages, so that wherever you live
you can join me in the appreciation of Japanese beauty.

弘前城の桜祭り。 This guy's from Canada, but he can play the local Tsugaru shamisen pretty well. At least he was doing it well enough to raise some money from people in Hirosaki at the annual cherry blossom festival.
東京タワー。 Here's the Tokyo Tower, sort of a Japanese knockoff of Paris's Eiffel Tower. Here's a different perspective. From this tower you can see the whole of Tokyo on a clear day. This wasn't a clear day, but you can see a lot of Tokyo anyway. Here's another shot.
This guy guards a temple in Kyoto. I guess you wouldn't want to mess with a Kyoto temple.
Mt. Iwaki 「岩木山」 is the mountain outside of Hirosaki. It's beautiful all year round, but I think it's especially beautiful in fall and spring.
有名な桜: The world-famous Japanese
cherry blossoms. Hirosaki is especially famous for them.
武家屋敷の角館の桜公園: The town of Kakunodate, in Akita Prefecture, is famous for its
gardens and especially its cherry blossoms. This is a park
along the river near the center of town.
鳥海山: The slopes
of Chokaisan (bird-sea-mountain in Japanese) on the southern border of
Akita Prefecture.
高原から見た田沢湖
Sunset over Lake Tazawa, from the high plateau.
黒湯温泉 An onsen,
or hotspring, on the border of Akita and Iwate prefecture.
黒湯温泉の神社（?） Some kind of a shrine
in the middle of the above onsen. You figure it out.
