Update #4 - How do you imagine Japan? Sept. 4, 2020

Is this how you picture Japan?

I can totally relate. Because that's how I pictured this country before my first visit. Of course, Tokyo and other big cities like Osaka and Yokohama do indeed look like that.

But 70% of Japan is covered in forests. And much of the land is devoted to farming. And there are rivers and lakes and hills and mountains.

So here is a photo of my wife, Masumi, taken when we recently visited Hiruzen, a community near the Sea of Japan. Not exactly a concrete jungle, eh?

LIVE FROM JAPAN! with over 450 photographs and 62 anecdotes about my experiences here since I first arrived July 2007, will show you another side of this amazingly beautiful and charming nation. The people. The traditions. The food. The morals and the customs.
