Here, meanwhile, are three of our favorites: ENGYOJI KAIKAN: The Engyoji temple complex - located just outside Himeji, four hours by train from Tokyo - might be recognizable if you've seen The Last Samurai, scenes from which were filmed in the courtyard of its daikodo, or Great Hall. The rooms at Engyoji, tel: (81-79) 266 3240, are rather less grand but pleasant nonetheless, simply furnished with a futon and an urn of green tea. There is no dawn ceremony but private meditation sessions can be arranged. RENGEJO-IN: This beautiful temple, tel: (81-73) 656 2233, is located atop Mount...

Out stepped Edgar R. Baker, managing director of TIME'S international editions. Quickly, pretty Takarazuka girls presented him with a bouquet as thanks for TIME'S story about Takarazuka (in Music, Jan. 3), the city whose principal industry is innocent...
Baker's arrival was timed for the formal opening of our new offices in the Sankei Kaikan. These quarters are in sharp contrast to our first home in bombed-out postwar Tokyo. Hard on the heels of General MacArthur, TIME moved into the Japanese capital, set up shop in backrooms above the Kyo-bunkwan bookstore and published its pony-size, adless Far Eastern edition.
