Am heading back to Japan again in September to do the following:

- Appreciate the beautiful changing colours of the leaves, preferably whilst soaking in an onsen;

- Visit a hot spring resort and do nothing but traipse about in a yukata from one hot spring to the next;

- Stay overnight in a buddhist temple at Mt. Koya;

- Get buried to the neck in hot sand in Ibusuki;

- Hike Mt. Aso;

- Relish my overnight stays in the traditional ryokans;

- Enjoy real Japanese cuisine.

That’s how I hope to spend my 14 day holiday. I can’t wait!
