V is for Volcano

Mt Fuji was one of my favourite scenes from Japan. Anywhere we went we were on the lookout for this snow capped mountain. It didn't matter from what angle, this mountain never stopped being amazing when you were looking at it.

Looking Back at Japan: Kunozan Toshogu Shrine & Sumpu Dream Square

I have the mammoth task of sorting my hard drive of 10+ years of photos. The benefit of that is that I am finding photos I never knew I had and reliving all my favourite moments of Japan from 2006/2007. 

Kunozan Toshogu Shrine and Sumpu Dream Square are found in Nihondaira, Shizuoka Prefecture. I was fortunate enough to have a beautiful Japanese friend Ai who would organise trips for us and this was one of the places we visited for the day. You can read about the shrine here.

Kachoen Park, Kakegawa

Kachoen Park is a gorgeous bird park in Kakegawa, Shizuoka, Japan. I visited this place in February 2014 and only just noticed I hadn't blogged about it, clearly I have been slacker than I realised. I had a great time there and I went a little crazy with the photos. Enjoy. You can read more details about Kachoen Park here.

Yaizu

Last year I took a photo a day, just to prove to myself I could (It is much harder than it sounds) and this year I wanted to do something different. I found the 52 Week Photo Challenge 2014 on Facebook. Every Sunday a new theme is posted and so you tag your photo with the group name. Week 1 is Black and White and since I didn't have access to a zebra, I took this photo. 

 You can see other photos from Yaizu below.
