A travelogue of our trip to Japan in May.

Todd, Sherri, John and Bryan flew from San Jose to Narita airport.

Spent a morning walking around the Imperial Palace grounds before taking the Shinkansen to Kyoto.

Met up with Dave and Mizuho at the hotel in Kyoto for drinks.
Then spent three days exploring Kyoto and traveling to Tsuruga.

Then did a nice nine day walk along the remains of the Nakasendo way.
An old walking route from Kyoto to Edo(Tokyo).
80 miles of the original 300+ miles.
Beautiful countryside with newly planted rice fields and mountain trails with rushing creeks.
