We saw a plume of ash erupting from Sakurajima, an active volcano, upon arriving at Sengan-en in Kagoshima in the morning. This volcano recently disrupted air travel in the region when it had an explosive eruption a few weeks ago.

The water and light show at キャナルシティ博多 Canal City Hakata next to the Grand Hyatt Fukuoka was pretty good! We saw four different shows -

We visited Chishaku-in's Autumn illumination event tonight. While most of the fall colors were gone, we did still enjoy walking through the temple grounds. This garden scene was particularly lovely. It was pretty quiet and serene! #Chishakuin #fallfoliage #Kyoto #Japan

We visited Rurikō-in today in northeastern Kyoto for the special Autumn viewing event. Although the fall foliage was well past peak, it was still a fantastic experience and quite different from most temple visits. #Rurikoin #fallfoliage #Kyoto #Japan

Out of all the fall foliage that we saw today in #Kyoto, this little #momiji at the #HeianShrineGarden was the most beautiful!
