No fried maple leaves when I was there a few weeks ago, all was shut and some of the trails closed for maintenance. Did you visit the bug museum?

Hello Flavio! Great post. I miss Japan. I was stationed there in the mid 90s and fell in love with the people (one in particular) and the culture. Unfortunately, I had to leave in 1996 and have not gotten back. Your post really brought back memories and a renewed longing to visit again. Thank you for writing this, I enjoyed your perspective. I just subscribed.

Great story! Isn’t it always the case that we should have budgeted more time for these lovely places? Your stories are making me seriously consider a trip to Japan. Thank you.

If you have US dollars, just hop on a plane and go. The exchange rate is absurd right now.

Yes, when I was there in 2019 the exchange was 1 € 100 yen, now is 1€ 160 yen.
