From Wednesday to Tuesday:

水 A wild praying mantis appeared! At Gifu Park, with Yuki; later also with Kazu and Asaka for tea and kakikôri at Kazu's pâtisserie in Nagoya.

木 Peaceful places in the hills above Ise, for example Kongôshô-ji, with Rena.

金 Curtains of paper cranes at Sakae no Yashiro shrine, Fukui

土 The famous Kenroku-en pond, Kanazawa

日 Echizen-Ono is one of those spectacular "sea of clouds" castles... in the early morning in November. You'll just have to use your imagination!

月 The gigantic main hall of Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum. It's hard to convey the sheer size...

火 The air starts to cool on the ferry Akashia, and not just because the Sun is starting to set - we're bound for Hokkaido, and forecast daytime highs under 30°C!
