Perfectly Late in Narai-Juku, Japan - Los Angeles Travel Photographer

The sun was going down in Narai-Juku, Japan. By the time we arrived, most people had long said sayonara.

To walk on the road by which people traveled from Tokyo to Kyoto some 400 years ago had me giggle secretly.

An old lady and her dog came out to say hello. By the look on the face, do you think the dog sensed my secret?

Nonetheless, it was getting dark. I walked on…

I’m a sucker for the amber glow that’s turned on at the turn of the dusk. I’m also such for the cooking smoke that comes from burning wood. When both culprits gang up to keep me around, I obliged.

I walked on… it was getting dark.

Before the sun left with all its rays, it had to bath this historical post town of the Edo Period and its people in the most mysterious color of the day.

I couldn’t help but exclaiming “We are here, perfectly late!”

… …

I hope the dog’s not around anymore… 😛
