I love autumn in Japan. Yesterday we decided to take a day trip and venture 4-5 hours north of Yokohama to Tonohetsuri & Ouchijuku in Fukushima-ken (prefecture) to catch the fall colours before they’re gone. It was a beautiful day as the day temperature is still hovering around 18-19 degrees celsius (that’s about 65F to my American neighbours neighbors). Have a look at the Animoto slideshow below if interested.

(The photo with the bees in the jar is shochu, which is a type of alcohol…yumm…bees in alcohol. I know, it sounds as tasty as pork ice-cream.)
