Fox Village in Zao

Zao Kitsune Mura is a "village" filled with a large number of free roaming foxes near Shiroishi in Miyagi Prefecture. Loads of fun, and at times scary, this is a unique experience you won't find anywhere else.

Meguro River Cherry Blossoms

Nighttime viewing of cherry blossoms along the Meguro River, which is lined with pink and white blooming trees. My favorite stretch of the river is between Naka-meguro and Gotanda stations, a walk that is lined with food vendors and restaurants serving the many people out for a beautiful night stroll. Grab your camera and come walk along the river - it's a great place to be in springtime.
