5 Years of Daily Photos from Japan, Top 20 Readers Choice

Sun, November 23, 2014, by Muza-chan

After writing for a couple of years, exactly half a decade ago (I just realized how long that sounds… ^_^ ) I decided to start the “A Japan Photo per Day” series. It was a decision that changed a large part of my life. It brought me lots of joy and satisfaction, and many, many new friends from all over the world, amazing people connected by their passions: travel, photography and… Japan.

That’s why, like I said before, I always felt that this anniversary is not just for me, it’s for all of you… Thank you for being with me all these years!

Arigatou gozaimashita!
