When I tell people I'm from New Zealand, they often comment about my country's beautiful scenery. However, Japan's scenery is just as lovely. Recently I had the pleasure of driving around Lake Miyagase in Kanagawa. The hillsides around the lake were covered with a mix of evergreen cedars and deciduous trees that were still showing some autumn color even though it was already December. It was so beautiful I was a little frustrated because there were very few places to stop and take photos! This man-made lake was created when Miyagase Dam was built, and supplies water to Yokohama and Tokyo.
