I spent 4 years stationed aboard a US Navy ship, in Yokosuka, Japan. Today I'm posting some of my pictures from there. And later I'll tell you of the things I learned from the experience.

Wow! Gorgeous pictures. My brother has been to Japan six times, and he loves it. I have some wonderful paintings that he has brought back, and a Japanese lady's fan.
I find the Japanese culture fascinating, and I love Japanese food. It's very healthy.
I'm not so sure I would enjoy being squeezed into the subway like that, though. Oh, goodness. *heh*
Beautiful pictures! If I don't get some sunlight soon, I'll be as white as those ladies, without makeup.
WOW...thanks for the visual eye candy journey of Japan.....loved it! I would have loved to have seen you there...in all of your majesty and size amoungst the smaller in stature...quite a picture I'm sure!! xOxO
Kurt,
This is one place I love to look at the pictures, but honestly have no desire to physically see. Not sure why, perhaps its just the rush of people and I've been craving peace and quiet.

beautiful photos, thanks for the tour! You have a great eye...
Fantastic pics. That bamboo forest is something.
Wow I want to know...this might sound weird but I purchased a Samari sward for my son at Christmas..it was his only one wish for a present...our house is different than most
Um, I'm not getting on that train. BUt I loved the young samari.
Goodness - your photos are FANTASTIC!!! I couldn't pick out a favorite one if I tried!!! It makes me want to go on a road trip...or plane trip... or boat trip? Hmmm...
I would like to stand in the bamboo forest and just... stand there for a while.
