On April 15, 1998 I mailed in my income tax forms and immediately left the country. Since my wife was already in Japan, and I couldn't think of any place farther away, I took off for "the Land of the Rising Sun." During the next week, Peggy and I visited Tokyo, Kamakura, the small town of Aizu-Wakamatsu, and the ski resort at Mt. Bandai. Below are my favorite shots from Japan.
