Update!

(15 August) The database should now be fixed, so there are no more stray funny characters... but there may still be glitches. I just discovered that all of the Peanuts puzzles had disappeared, because "artist=peanuts" was not matching "Peanuts"; so there is more to do in sorting out case-insensitive matching.

Database problem!

Apologies! A recent database upgrade has left lots of Japanese text corrupted, and also some variant characters, such as the e-acute in "Pokémon," not showing correctly. I am working to correct this but may take some days...

Laputa Road

Famous as a scenic spot reminiscent of the Miyazaki animation Castle in the Sky (1986), this road winds precariously around the ridge, affording spectacular views of the "sea of clouds". It was seriously damaged by storms in 2012 and 2014, and sadly is now closed, with no immediate plans for reopening.

This autumn view adds vivid colours of red and yellow foliage.
