We've been back for a week now... such a fun holiday. So much to do, I think we packed in quite a bit. Started in Osaka but travelled straight to Tokyo. We spent about 5 days there; visiting a few temples, shopping, and just travelling all over the city.

Then we headed up to Hakuba, near Nagano, for a week of snowboarding. It was awesome but so cold.

After that week was up we travelled down to Hiroshima and Miyajima. A couple of days there and then off to Kyoto for temple craziness. So many to see... I think we did pretty well. I don't think my feet could have taken much more walking. :)

Our last day was in Osaka and we went to the aquarium, then we caught our plane home (when it was finally ready).

Here are a few photos... I am really happy with my d90. Especially the LCD screen, very nice to use.



Matsumoto Castle near Nagano. A very photogenic place.



We went to visit the snow monkeys in Yamanouchi. This little place is near the start of the 2km walk from the bus stop to the monkey park.



Torii gates at Fushimi Inari-taisha. Hard to get photos without people in it. :)



Lights in Dōtonbori, Osaka.

More photos to come. ;D
Later.
