Tokyo through film
Many directors come to Tokyo to capture its energy, the contrast between the traditional and the modern, and the quirky fads that come to light in this massive metropolis.

Akihabara: A tour of cool Japan
Akihabara was once considered the home of obsessed anime fans and dubious electronic dealers, but how have things changed! Akihabara is now known as the epicenter of Cool Japan.

Fall foliage
People around the world know that Japan goes crazy during cherry-blossom season. What few people know is that the whole process is repeated during foliage season in the fall! Weather forecasts report on the progress of the foliage and thousands of photography aficionados dust their tripods and take their cameras out for a walk to capture the ensemble of color.

Tokyo Onsen
A visit to an onsen (hot spring) usually means a trip to a far-flung hot spring resort, but it doesn’t need to be that way. Unbeknownst to many, including more than a few native Tokyoites, the city is home to dozens of onsen, many of them nice enough to make a trip to country unnecessary.

Late Spring Festivals in Tokyo
Golden Week is over and summer is almost upon us, and soon we’ll be enjoying warm weather delights like natsu matsuri (summer festivals).

Autumn leaves
The Japanese are a people seriously infatuated with the seasons, and one of the greatest expressions of that obsession is the love of koyo.

Fruit Picking
In Japan every season has its own charms, but when it comes to food autumn holds a special place in the hearts—and stomachs—of the Japanese.

Chitose (Sento (Public Bath) / Nippori)
With classic view of fuji on the wall this sento has a very old world feel to it. Sadly the water was extremely hot so It was not quite as enjoyable as it could have been.
