October Postcard Club Stamps

Love the Mt Fuji collection for this month! You’ll get one of these on your card. It’s hard to pick which one is the best, sometimes on these series, there are a few that are better than the rest but this time, it’s pretty even! Kanae is putting them one now - random. She says everyone’s name each time she puts it on! 😂 me too when I’m making the labels and putting them on so it’s great to get to know you a little though doing this each month. -J

Postcard Club Oct 2020 - Wild Onsen w/ Mt Fuji stamp!

Japan's hot springs are a big deal and last month I drove up to northern Fukushima on the border with Yamagata and Akita to soak in a wild onsen. The color is remarkable! A blue-white. Next month is a photo of the finale of the fireworks in Omagari and December's is the image of the year! -- I think. I have some good photos unreleased.
Thank you again for supporting and I'll have a nice stamp with MT FUJI as well.

Early Access - Japanese Wagyu from Farm to Table | Omi Beef Story

Thank you for supporting the series! For a limited time, take a look at the newest ONLY in JAPAN episode on Wagyu! Kevin Riley and I travel to Shiga Prefecture to travel from farm to table and see how the beef is sourced. This episode features a lot more history which I think you'll love from the CEO of a family business going back generations. Once again, thank you for making this possible!! It means the world to me. Sincerely, John
