Late August brought an exciting trip to the Japan International Jewellery Fair, but it wasn't all work.

We made sure that there was plenty of time for fun too. From climbing Mount Fuji to temple hopping, this is the oriental of Japan.  



Beautiful wooden scripts outside the temple.

Good morning world. A stunning sunrise from the top of Mount Fuji.

Drum roll.

Sleek Japanese interiors.

Japan's center of street fashion.

Unusual culinary delights of the street markets.

The hustle at Shibuya Square, Tokyo.

Temple dripping with lanterns. 

Mine's a macchiato. Taking time out at Geisha District, Kyoto.
