Japan remains a fascinating place for so many reasons. It’s amazing how an island can dominate a region economically for so many years based on ideas and innovation instead of natural resources.

Kyoto is a delightful place that we’ve been able to visit several times. Three day’s time is barely adequate, particularly if nearby Nara is included. Each time I’m there I’m again grateful that the historians and preservationists were able to prevail on the U.S. military leaders to leave Kyoto untouched and un-bombed during WWII. So, unlike many historical places in Germany, Kyoto and Nara survived the war intact.
