Default Only in Japan

I'm an American living in Japan due to the Hubs job. I love it here so far and I thought that I could share a little of it with everyone else. I thought you would enjoy the triangle stop sign, the huge Torii gate and some cherry blossoms.

The lanterns were hanging at the Buddhist festival I went to last weekend. I'll have more from the festival soon.
