Japan 2017 Group Pics

4 August 2017

I went to Japan with some friends in late July 2017. We were there for 12 days and visited Tokyo, Mt. Fuji, Kyoto, and Osaka.

I made videos about this trip, which are up on my YouTube channel.

My cousin was teaching English in South Korea at the time and by pure coincidence we planned trips to Tokyo at the same time!
