    Hi I love the photos you’ve taken and the initiative of the trip. You’re a very talented photographer! I was wondering what camera and lens you usually use? :)

      Hi there, Katy uses a Canon 5D with a 24-105mm L series lens. If you’re feeling generous, she’s after a new one!

    Gorgeous photos! i love Japan. Going will be one of my goals. I’d love to see a documentary about a trip like this. I only know about a few of the major prefectures there.

    Were you able to go to any of the islands?

    That looks like a great trip – well done!! I myself did a work placement in Japan in 2008 and am eager to return as I felt it was too short (I had to return to college). I still got a good bit of travel in, in my spare time, and would like to return to either do some more travel or mix work and travel. I`m not intimidated or put off by the reports by certain sectors of the media and I do agree that most of Japan is getting on with their lives (as shown by my friends on Facebook and elsewhere). There`s a reason after all that it`s one of the top 5 safest countries in the world.

    Once again, well done.
