Japan - From Tokyo to Osaka, 2016
Choosing June, prime time rainy season, as my travel month in Japan was not the wisest decision - but smart choices are never the most rewarding. Granted, my best companion was a clear-plastic umbrella, and torrential rain meant that hiking Mount Misen turned into a water-sport, but there was a tranquility throughout the country as fewer tourists arrived during this time. My first stop in Tokyo was the red Asakusa Temple, followed shortly by the vast Ueno Park where locals played baseball alongside ancient relics.
