While I was in the tea town of Wazuka in Kyoto I took some small side trips to different areas of the town to enjoy what was on offer. In general the town is quite small so you can see most of it by bike

This is part of the series that I've been writing on the town of Wazuka in Kyoto, you can read and view the pictures from Part 1 and Part 2 on Steemit if you haven't already. Here today I continue with

In my last post I explained a little about the tea town of Wazuka and the reasons why it's such a special place. Not only is the climate perfect for growing tea, the scenery is also dream-like thanks to

My first post in a series on the tea town of Wazuka that's located approximately one hour from Kyoto in Japan. I'm excited to share these images here on Steemit and will go in to more detail in later posts

On my last trip to Japan I spent quite a lot of time visiting a number of buildings designed by talented Japanese architect Tadao Ando. I visited 5 locations in total, but since I was based in the Kansai

I came to realise that there’s nothing worse than photographing concrete architecture on an overcast day. With your own eye it doesn’t make that much difference, but when you're photographing this type

When I came across these works by Chicago-based artist Ryan Tippery I was interested in the way in which he integrated natural looking patterns with flat coloured block elements. I've never really seen

I ate so much udon when I was travelling Japan! haha Udon is a great dish and comes both hot and cold, but for some reason I prefer the hot version and always select it when eating out. I often find Japanese

For Wednesday's architectural post I took a trip to the rural area of Osakasayama that's situated outside of Osaka in Japan. It took an hour or so to arrive from Umeda Station but I definitely think it
