Welcome to the Japan Articles section of PHOTOGUIDE.JP. This is where I put my longer articles and serious writings. Those which cannot fit in my blogs or don't belong in a blog. This is where write my heart out about Japan. The articles usually complement my Japan Photos section. This section is still largely under construction. This Main Page serves as an index and guide to all the articles.
