Stunning photos! The colours are brightening my day. lol
Lots of familiar places and some new ones! Did you mostly just wander about?
Thanks!
The autumn colors are quite beautiful. I didn't have any set agenda as far as places that I saw. I ate really well and hung out with a few friends that I know in Tokyo and Osaka, some new and some old.

Hehe. Yes, Noboribetsu is a famous area in Japan for "onsen" (hotspring), which is why I went there, and Sapporo is the largest city on the island of Hokkaido.

�z�n���{ (Tsukiji Masamoto). Thanks to a friend's gracious assistance, the Japanese chef knife that I picked out but which was out of stock at the time, while I was visiting the Tsukiji Masamoto knife shop, recently arrived.
Founded in 1845, today the 7th generation owner, Misao Hirano, runs this venerable business within the famed Tsukiji wholesale fish market.

I'll bet it cuts like a dream.
I have a smaller petty knife from another knife maker called Aritsugu that is quite sharp...it does in fact cut like a dream so I decided to cop for a larger chef's knife because it would be more practical for different uses.
This smaller knife was given to me as a gift. Here it is. Check out the engraving.
