Jayne in Japan

This blog was created last summer when I spent 10 weeks in Japan. I posted stories, pictures, prayer requests, and anything else useful, inspiring, or interesting.

This year again, I am traveling in Japan for the month of October and will use this blog as my information outlet.

It is also my outlet for various topics that run through my head.

Thanks for visiting!

Mt Fuji


White box says "You are here"
Yes! I have officially visited Japan! Yesterday we hiked on Mt Fuji and today we visited the Emperor's Palace (which was closed - so we just kind of walked around it) and also a famous shrine in Tokyo called Asakusa. It's a major touristy place. There were all sorts of foreign people there. I can't get this blogger to format the way I want it, so I'll have to post the Emperor's Palace separately.

I'll also update more about things that God is doing later. For now, enjoy the pictures!

At this point you need real climbing gear, so it's as far as we got. It is the 6th Step out of 10, which is the top.

Mt Fuji is traditionally a sacred mountain, so there are shrines and various other religious things to be found.

Here you see the roof of a Shinto shrine built in Chinese style by a Japanese monk.


What a clear day!!!
