Dear USA Today,
I recently came across your piece suggesting Taiji, Japan as a vacation destination, and I must admit my surprise at the piece, having been there twice myself.
Firstly, I think you do the town of Taiji a great disservice by
completely ignoring the natural beauty of the landscape. It is one of the most stunning
places I’ve ever been, with absolutely gorgeous mountains. The ocean views are always
breathtaking, whether they’re clear, Pacific blue, the fiery orange reflection
of sunset, or the deep, blood red of the daily dolphin slaughter that is
perpetrated there from September to March.
