As I had hoped a year earlier, my plan to return to Japan and
visit Kyoto came to pass in November - the perfect time for
visiting temples and gardens in the rich colors of autumn. For
this second trip to Japan, I ventured out to a few new spots
including the imperial palace in Tokyo, Moto-Hakone, and Kyoto.
Enjoy the sites below!
