No Rain, No Flowers. | Sin Lluvia No Hay Flores.

Just outside Tokyo is this flower park that blooms bright in autumn. The hills are covered with Kochia, sometimes called firebrush, fireball, or burningbush. Kochia leaves and stems turn from green to bright red in October. Have you heard the story about the typhoon? There’s a twist at the end: I went on a rainy day or so I thought. I later found out that a typhoon was coming and that’s why there was lesser crowd, lol. While many moved away to seek cover from the rain, I gave up …

The Itsukushima Shrine

Photobomb level : Bambi. 🤳🏿I placed my camera as high as deer- can’t-reach level and ran to sit for the shot…I felt a heavy breathing on my neck, turned around and there he was naturally striking the perfect pose. “Aaw cute”, I know. But don’t be fooled by their cuteness, they are like the pickpockets of Paris, lol. They steal you blind, they go straight to your pockets looking for food!

Hiroshima Now | Hiroshima Ahora

Time, the impact it has on our memories, our priorities, and our sense of responsibility for crimes and injustice, is something I’ve been thinking about a lot. This was the only structure left standing where the first atomic bomb exploded on August 6th, 1945.

We are talking about people old enough to be our grandparents, it wasn’t THAT long ago and we still feel unconnected. Why? 🤷🏼‍♀️So often, we’re asked to remember …

While in Kyoto | Mientras tanto en Kyoto

If you visit a place with a torii gate that means its Shinto. Shinto is considered Japan’s native religion; the main ideas behind are rooted not in the after-life, like many other popular belief systems, but rather in finding harmony with your current surroundings in the present. The best way to see all of Fushima-Inari Taisha Shrine is to hike to the summit of 233m, Mt. Inari-san. Is about 5km and it’s about 2-3hrs. It’s worth it! But if you don’t want to make it all the way to the …

Meet the The Great Buddha of Kamakura |Conozca el Gran Buddha of Kamakura

He was inside a temple hall at the beginning which was further destroyed by storm, earthquakes, tsunamis, many times…he has stood in the open meditating under the sky for about 500 years. And rain or shine there I was too. I truly experienced how imposing the 2nd most largest bronze statue was, once I went inside. I stood right in the center of the body and looked up. I checked how it was cast, the beauty of his cracks and the light that went through them…a story of resilience under the …
