Welcome to episode 48. This week we continue on our travels around Hokkaido, visiting a number of sites around the Taisetsuzan National Park. The Taisetsuzan National Park covers 2,267 square kilometers, around the highest peak, Mount Asahi, but also envelopes a few...
Welcome to this weeks episode. Last week we visited Oirase, in the Aomori Prefecture, where I spent a few days shooting a few weeks ago, which for the sake of listeners that catch up on the archives when this episode is old, was from the 10th to the 12th of July,...
Welcome to this weeks episode. I apologise for the lengthy hiatus between this and the last episode. It’s been exactly three weeks since I released episode 45 to today. I did release episode 45 around 4 days early as I was preparing for a lengthy vacation in which I...
Welcome to this weeks’ episode. Before we get onto the main topic for today which will also be the basis for the next Assignment which starts immediately, I’d like to announce the winners of the Rainy Days Assignment. There was a bit more interest and more...
