13 December, 2009: Narita-san Yokohama Temple
Went with Luna to buy a Christmas tree today, but decided en route to try and find Iseyama Shrine in the Noge area of Yokohama first. Wasn’t really sure where it was and never did find it, but did find a temple that we had never been to. The temple we found, Narita-san Yokohama Temple,
13 December, 2009: Odaiba in December
Venus Fort shopping mall had a grand “re-opening” today to celebrate becoming the only outlet mall within the 23 wards of Tokyo. Megu wasn’t feeling well so Luna and I went to check it out. I could be wrong, but it didn’t appear that anything changed from before they “re-opened”. Supposedly now the third floor
09 December, 2009: Mori Garden – Roppongi
Went to the Mori Garden at Roppongi Hills, Tokyo, with Luna for an afternoon walk. I was hoping to stay for the Christmas illuminations at Tokyo Midtown, but Luna started to get tired right before dark. As evening crept closer, the crowds started to roll in and we just decided to head for home to
08 December, 2009: Shichi-Go-San at Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine
At the end of last month, we finally made it to the Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine for Luna’s Shichi-Go-San blessing. This shrine is located in the heart of Kamakura and is considered to be the most important Shinto shrine in the area. At the same time we were walking up, there was a couple being married
30 November, 2009: The Hikawa Maru, Yokohama
For over a year now we have walked by this ship at least two times a month and many times more often than that when the weather is nice, but I never realized that this ship is now a floating museum. Have taken photos of it since I got here (seagulls love the chains anchoring

About
When I first came to Japan in 1998, I bought a 35mm Nikon with one of my first paychecks and took a ton of photos for the 3 years that I was in Matsuyama. I went back to the States in 2001, lived in Washington DC for the next 7 years, and didn’t really take many photos during that entire time… In 2008, my wife and I moved back to Japan and settled in the Yokohama area.
Shortly after arriving back here I was bitten by the bug, purchased a used Canon 40D and a couple of lenses to chronicle all that we see, feel, and experience here in Japan. Most of the photos I take are from the Tokyo/Yokohama areas, but intermingled are shots from other areas we travel to.
