Ah - Japan again!


Cindy being dressed in a creation of famous Kimono designer Ueshima
(man on left). Trained in Kyoto, the master designer moved to Noto Hanto
after falling in love with its stunning sunsets over the west coastof Japan.
We cycle through this region on B&R trips and always stop by to visit the
82-year old artist and to see how his paintings become brilliant kimonos.


Our graceful tea ceremony hostess at Gyokusen-en
- an intimate Edo period private garden in Kanazawa


This 8-km stretch at Chirihama in Ishikawa gives new meaning
to the term "beach highway" - strange but true.


Canopy-level bridge to the Miho Museum outside of Kyoto. The Museum
houses an impressive private collection from all over the world, but the
real attraction is the architecture by I. M. Pei

Another amazing bridge on our bike ride almost at the Miho Museum.
