Beautiful and fascinating photographs.

That is a most adorable divine messenger fox statue! I really love the rows of Torii gates too and was dismayed to see disrespectful influencers pull tasteless pranks for internet clout. Not to mention Ubisoft destroying Shinto shrines in their latest Assassin's Creed game. I wish people acted respectful when they visited other countries, but one cannot ask self-absorbed fools the impossible...

I’ve also seen videos of foreign visitors in Japan committing malicious pranks or crimes. Of course, such bad behavior isn’t limited to foreigners — sometimes it’s Japanese people who do these things — so we can’t simply blame foreign tourists. Still, no matter who’s responsible, it pains my heart to see it.

Inconsiderate people is why we cannot have nice things, was what my grandmother used to say.

Regardless, I am still dreaming of one day visiting Japan! I only need to sell a truckload of books to achieve that :D
