In the beginning of December I was fortunate enough to visit Japan on a business/tourist trip. I am fascinated by this country; by how different the culture is from the Western world; and by how enchanting and stunning simple everyday objects can become.
I have visited the Golden Pavilion in Kyoto – it’s my favorite historical structure in Japan as of now. It is hard to get a bad picture there; the whole complex is a symbol of landscape design perfection.
I also went back to Odaiba, the most modern part of Tokyo. I am not really sure why there is a small Statue of Liberty there, but it’s a very popular spot to take pictures as a couple. Maybe it’s a symbol of love here…
And then, of course, I had to go back to Nagano and visit the snow monkeys again. They were cute as ever until of of them with a very innocent face tried to steal my camera bag. I have visited them on a weekday and there were only a few other people in the park and literally a few hundred monkeys around us. Snow monkey park is not a zoo, there are not cages or any barrier between you and the beasts.
After returning from the park I have read that these monkeys are actually pretty dangerous and even a smaller ones can hurt a person really bad. I am glad I have survived a visit to these “cute monsters” only to be planning my next visit to Japan in the future.
