Visit the Tomioka Silk Mill
The Tomioka Silk Mill offers a fascinating insight into Japan’s move to globalisation and modernisation.

Koyasan is one of the World Heritage Sites on the Kii Mountain Range of Japan. For the pilgrims a thousand years ago, it was a welcome sanctuary.
Journey into Dreamland
Photos from inside Nara Dreamland, Japan. The park was abandoned in 2006 and nothing’s been done with it since. It’s all locked off.. but I found a way in.
