Since leaving Japan I’ve had little time to keep on top of the various photos I’ve snapped. Hopefully, as I slowly settile into some sort of routine here, I’ll have more time to sift through the vast number and upload a few.

In the meantime, here are a couple from my last months in Japan. The photos of Akihabara were requested by my father who, it seems, has developed quite a fondness for its gadget-strewn back alleys.

Last weekend, I enjoyed my first snowboarding of the season, taking first a day trip to Gala Yuzawa and then spending three days in Shigakogen in Nagano.

Nagano is referred to as the Japanese Alps and, with all the intertwined slopes and beautiful scenery, it’s easy to see why.

This year I ventured out with my camera and took a few photos:
