14 Weekend: Color Coordinated
With deciduous trees throughout Japan erupting
into a riot of color over the next two months,
there’s no escaping the fact that fall is upon us.
Jeffrey Tanenhaus recommends 10 prime destinations
where visitors can bask in autumn’s patchwork glory.


20 Travel: Made To Last
Kurashiki offers visitors a step back in time to
an elegant past, writes Stephen Mansfield.


24 Wine: Licensed to Pour
How many times have you been to a restaurant and ended
up drinking the house red because you don’t know your
way around a wine list? Cellar master J.K. Whelehan
finds the best way to remedy such problems is by going
back to school.


28 Money: The House That Jack Bought
A bluffer’s guide to buying residential property
in Japan. Text & photos by Robert Cameron.


32 Culture: Sacred Waters
Kusatsu Onsen boasts natural hot springs with magical
healing properties, writes Marea Pariser.


36 Voice: More Than Skin Deep
Fifteen-year-old Taichi Saotome is a rising star in
Japanese show business known primarily for his female
impersonation roles, emerging from traditional stage
dancing to the big screen, televised variety shows and
beyond. In between takes for a new DVD program at a Tokyo
studio, he tells Seiji Komachi of his young perspectives
about a world about to be conquered. All photos by Masashi
Hashimoto.
