 Some things just didn't fit into other posts.

Hotel Lobby Decor

Japanese hotels can have stunning displays in their public spaces.

Capitol Hotel Tokyu (Tokyo)

Ten-yu Ryoken (Hakone)

Westin Miyako (Kyoto)

Food

Always presented with aesthetics in mind.

Dessert

Planting rice.

Even our ship (the New Zealand-based Heritage Adventurer) grew fresh herbs.

Dogs

Dogs can be pampered pets in Japan - as in the U.S.

Flora

Street trees in Tokyo were tagged and inventoried. (Gingko)

Columbine along the street on Sado Island.

Flowers (oxalis?) growing in a wall at Matsue Castle.
