Japan with the Family…
by Rodney Campbell on Nov.06, 2016, under Life, Photography
It had been more than twenty (20) years since I had last been in Japan. My two eldest daughters had individually travelled there on holiday with my parents in recent years. However my wife last visited together more than 20 years ago. Our youngest daughter had never been and was extremely keen to go (perhaps as the only one never to have been).
Arakawa
NIKON D750 + 28.0-300.0 mm f/3.5-5.6 @ 58 mm, 1/60 sec at f/9, ISO 250
So plans were put in motion and we arranged a family trip to see all the sites and visit my many relatives across Japan.
Note: These photographs (especially the wider shots) look much better when larger. To see larger versions in an inline overlay slideshow gallery viewer click any of the images.

In Tokyo we decided to stay at an apartment we found on Airbnb. It was conveniently located near the Subway at Machiya in Arakawa. Finding places with at least three bedrooms in cities in Japan is tricky but the place was clean and comfortable.

My Tokyo relatives met us at the Airport and took us all the way to our accomodation. After a quick baggage dropoff we all headed out to dinner at a local restaurant.

The next day my aunt and uncle met us in Ueno (Park) to see the very last of the famous Cherry Blossoms.
