This is how Bairs Abroad Began!
When the Army moved our family to Japan I discovered an ancient Japanese pilgrimage circuit at this temple grounds. For the next 2 years we traveled around Japan enjoying vending machines and places I knew friends and family would never see so I set up a little Facebook page so they could follow us around. I ate fried octopus, Michael and our kids took surf lessons, and a few dear friends drove to some remote ancient temples. Mt Fuji, fire festivals, daruma dolls... it all started here.
