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

Mon, December 19, 2016, by Muza-chan

Seven is a lucky number in many mythologies (in Japan there are the Seven Lucky Gods), and my 7th year of Daily Photos from Japan was definitely the most amazing.

Dear friends from all over the world, I thank you very much for sharing the same passions as me (travel, photography and, of course, Japan), thank you for your continuous feedback and for your encouragements…

This anniversary article is a few days late from the due date, but like on every anniversary, here is the top of the 20th most popular photos of the passed year, in countdown order.
