We visited Japan in 2007 and had a wonderful time, and would like to help promote the #Blog4Japan initiative that was started by Todd’s Wanderings.
The hope is that blogging about Japan will bring more attention to the recovery effort and encourage much-needed tourism to the region.

Scroll down for photos of our trip through Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto.
We were able to see the cherry blossoms bloom, and they looked great at night!
When we visited Tokyo, we saw the classic scenes of massive crowds at every intersection.

Great photos! Japan ranks high on my bucket list and I really hope to be able to visit that wonderful country very soon.
I was so impressed by the devastation and even more by the strength and calm of the Japanese people. I think there’s a lot we can learn…

I loved visiting Japan. The people were so kind and orderly – the place is so clean and you didn’t feel like anyone was out to cheat you (unlike when visiting other countries). Hope Japan recovers quickly!
