Land of the Rising Sun

By: Sylvester Staniša

Four Slovenian Clevelanders – Peter Osenar, John Hocevar, Frank Vidmar, and Sylvester Staniša – recently traveled to Japan – to the “LAND OF THE RISING SUN.” We wanted to explore the ancient traditions coupled with state-of-the-art technology of this 3rd largest world economy (they dominate the world’s automotive industry) – to view the beauty of their landscapes – to visit their most famous religious temples and shrines and mostly to learn about the Japanese people and their cultures and of course to ride the bullet train and hopefully to hike Mt. Fuji.
