Monkey D’Luffy, dressed as if transported back to the Edo era, points his katana at Japan’s location on a globe.

I will be traveling through Japan this October! Please be sure to check out this page starting October 3rd as I blog my adventures. I will be visiting Hiroshima, Kyoto, Matsumoto, Shinanomachi (Nagano), and Tokyo, with as wide a range of experiences as I can squeeze in: skyscrapers, tiny villages, shrines, castles, museums, theme parks, nature, books, towers, Michael Ende, and lots and lots of trains.
