I wrote Magical Japan between October to November 2015 which describes the tour I took of North Japan. I saw Aizu Wakanatsu and Hiraizumi which were the two most interesting points of my tour. I went with a traveling companion and we loved what we saw. I also describe the visit we paid to Nikko and its' environment where went shopping for pottery. It was a memorable trip and one worth writing about and very different from the fiction I normally produce.
