“Golden Week” is about to start here in Japan, a bunch<\/span> of national\nholidays in short order that, along with a weekend<\/span> or two, gives people\nwilling to use them a long<\/span> vacation. I work for<\/span> myself so it doesn't matter\nto me on that level, but now that Anthony's in school, we have to match our\ntravel to the national schedule. (For a laugh,<\/span> see this humorous but sadly accurate\ndescription<\/a> of Golden Week.)<\/p>\n\n

We had been planning to bring Anthony to Tokyo Disneyland today, but\nthat plan got scrapped with recent events, so instead I'm showing some\npictures from the first full day of last year's Golden-Week trip. All the pictures<\/span> on this post were taken one year ago today.<\/p>\n\n

The trip was the source of a lot of nice imagery, including\nPretty Fields in Biei<\/a>,\nAbandoned Houses in Hokkaido<\/a>,\nMore Biei Countryside<\/a>,\nFurano Wine House Park<\/a>, and\nYet More from Picturesque Biei<\/a>,\n\namong others.
