April 29th in Japan

Yesterday was a national holiday in Japan. It was the former emperor’s birthday. I had the day off of work, so Joe suggested going to Kyoto. We went to Mount Kurama. I’ve wanted to go to Mount Kurama for a while now but was never able to because it is on the north side of Kyoto away from all the other things we wanted to see. Joe and I hiked up the mountain and realized we were really out of shape. On our hike we saw a lot of cool things including a snake! In Japan snakes are considered good omens. Please enjoy the pictures.



















I said yes.
