21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Fairy Tales in Kyoto

After a hiatus of 3 years, I finally get to travel overseas when more countries are opening up their borders. The travel industry is still not entirely ready to receive large numbers of tourists, so I picked a destination familiar to me - Japan. This is my 30th trip to this beautiful nation - after all the main aim of this trip is to visit friends and relatives. TomiFuku is ever optimistic about the future. There's no point looking at unhappy matters and she's probably the new burst of energy and positivity the people around her needs.
