Golden Week Runs

This year, the Golden Week was 10-days long.  This was due to the Emperor change ceremonies coincided with the timing.  This link has information about it.

I basically took the whole time off from work and was in Japan to be a part of the historical event of the Era Change from Heisei to Reiwa.  But as usual, I will post the photos from my runs.

On the last Sunday in April, it was a gorgeous day.  I had a nice run in a beautiful sun.
