@Chap I’m blown away by your pictures of the temples, and gardens especially. It looks like you had a thoroughly peaceful time.

[Chap]

@Mister_Brue thank you so much the architecture and tranquility of the temples and the beauty of the japanese gardens was amazing, just sitting there can really help to clear one's mind.

Dinner in the Ryokan. Ryokan hotels very often serve meals in the guest rooms. It was crab season...

Yes indeed thank you so much @Chap . Gorgeous photos of the trip of a lifetime.

You guys did the kind of trip I’d want to do, balancing towards serenity.

My wife brought up going to Japan, somewhat to my surprise since she loves beaches and tropical climes. I hope we can build some serenity into our adventure alongside some urban exploration. I’ll be coming back here for inspiration. Thanks again.
