Azaleas For The Win
Okay, in a cherry blossoms vs. azaleas fight to the death, where are you going to slap down your hard-earned cash? (Hint: Let me put it this way, I’ve seen Japanese azalea gardens reduce people who are never at a loss for words to just saying…wow.)
Here are my favorite places to see them right now in Tokyo…
•
NI NO MARU, Imperial Palace East Garden



•
NEZU SHRINE, Nezu


•
RIKUGI-EN GARDEN, Komagome


•
“A great read!” —Liza Dalby, author of Geisha and The Tale of Murasaki

Writing mystery books set in Tokyo is mostly what I do, but I also blog about the odd stuff I see every day in Japan. I'm a graduate of Stanford University and the Sendagaya Japanese Institute in Tokyo, and a member of the International Thriller Writers, the Mystery Writers of America, and Sisters In Crime. When I'm not in Tokyo, I live in San Francisco. I also host a travel site called The Tokyo Guide I Wish I'd Had, so if you're headed to Japan and want to check out the places I take my friends when they're in town, take a look!
