Fall Colors in Japan : There is NO place in Miharu with a better view of the fall colors than the Rice Lake House.  You can sit in the living room on the sofa and look out the picture window to the back of the house and get nothing but LIVING COLOR!  The garden is lovely and the view from the second-floor bedroom windows is MAGNIFICENT!

My Jizo Photo Collection : I have a thing for "Jizos".  Jizo is the Japanese god of children.  You find this stone figure all over Japan, at temples, by road sides, etc.  Usually wearing a red hat and cape.  They are just so charming.  And I never pass one without saying a little prayer for all the unloved children of the world.
