My first sojourn to Japan in 2015 with the awesome assistance from Halley Trujillo from "Inside Japan Tours" took me way back to journey along many ancient familiar paths in Japan and to heal the past that's gone yet still lives on deep within my heart & soul.

 

Arigato beloved Japan and all of the beautiful people that I interacted with along the way..

​

I truly fell deeply in love with beloved Japan and I knew at the completion of this first sojourn that I would be returning to sojourn there again many many more times.
