"Liddy Says"

"Japan is totally unique and a remarkable place to explore. I can never decide if my favourite aspect of travel here is the delicious food or the many opportunities to take a traditional Japanese bath, sometimes out in the open air. You will also particularly enjoy the lovely traditional ryokan (guesthouse) in the heart of the Japan Alps."
