2008 – Japan – “Yamaguchi”

Trips back to see family in Japan

In 2008 we went back to Japan again. We flew on British Airways and visited Milan, Italy as part of the Itinerary.

We took the Shinkansen down from Tokyo to Yamaguchi and spent some time there before heading off to Taiwan with the in-laws for a few days.

Every time we go back to Yamaguchi we seem to visit the same spots. The town has a lot of nostalgia for me as I lived there for 2 years.  My wife, of course, was brought up there.

Here are some of the highlights of a typical stay in Yamaguchi.
