AUTUMN IN JAPAN - 13-20 NOV 2013

Japan was one of the items on my girl's bucket list so the decision for this year's family vacation to be in  Japan was greeted with much joy.  It was a toss between Tokyo and Osaka and we finally decided on Osaka because of the slightly warmer autumn and it's more cultural essence compared to Tokyo.  Making side trips from Osaka is a must and after asking friends and searching through the net, it was decided that we will go to Kyoto and Nara, because of their known beautiful autumn colours.

The autumn colours were beautiful and we took so many pictures that it was difficult to choose which ones we like most.

The vibrant colours of red, yellow, green, orange and different shades of the same, combined with the pleasant autumn temperature, makes the whole experience of walking around Osaka, Kyoto or Nara a wonderful, enjoyable one.
