I discovered Domon Ken photography, in Rome, when just by chance I saw a huge exposition on his life work. So when we went to Japan, we went to Sakata just to see his museum. We spent a whole afternoon there. We saw the children of Showa exposition. Beautiful. The museum architecture is also beautiful, the idea of having many chairs for you to seat facing outside ( to a fantastic rock garden ) even if you have your back to the fantastic photographs.... And another beautiful space, also with seats, but this time to seat admiring a beautiful pond, and a huge number of cherry trees all in bloom... I could stay there for hours. The idea of coming to a museum and admiring not only the works of art inside it, but taking the time to look outside and admire the nature around it, was in a way, new to me, and I really appreciated the time spent there. Worth the trip to Sakata.

This was a very enjoyable class, as the chef named Suda gave me instructions on fresh fish, how to use a kitchen knife, and how to grab sushi. I ate 10 of my own sushi, but it was so delicious that I didn't think I made it!

The flexibility to chose locations that suited our wants and abilities was great. Hiro San was very quick to put together an itinerary that accommodated a family with a stroller-baby (no monkey park due to long unpacked walking paths). Taking in the beautiful temples and view of the Kyoto from the west was breath taking and the guide was able to explain many things we as new Japanese learners could not read or know through cultural knowledge. Overall a great experience, a wonderful and lively guide, and some great memories.
