Of all the countries in the world, Japan has always seemed like a shimmering mirage, a pipe dream, my one true bucket list destination. If I am honest I never really believed I'd set foot in this almost mythical country.

But as of 2016, all that changed when we embarked on a three week gallop around the Land of the rising Sun.

Landing in Tokyo we spent five days getting to grips with the wide variety of neighbourhoods from Shibyu and Shinjuku to Harajuka and Asakusa.

We then headed to the beautiful Nikko national park before hopping on our first bullet train to the Japanese Alps and the quaint little village of Takayama. 

We then headed to Hiroshima to see the sombre site of the A bomb and  Miyajima island.

Then it was Geisha spotting and temple bagging in Kyoto before ending in Osaka with its crazy advertising and oversized sushi signs.

Twice! October 2014, October 2016. Both times were amazing. I plan on going at least one more time with my partner. 

• Hiked on Mt. Fuji
• Rode on a bullet train
• Visited the Bamboo Forest in Arashiyama (Kyoto)
• Visited a cat cafe
• Visited an owl and bird cafe (not recommended)
• Went to a Japanese style wedding/reception
• Went shopping in Harajuku 
• Did karaoke in Shibuya

 I've been to Japan for a few times already and the latest one is to Okinawa during summer holiday in 2011. It's been a nice trip as the weather is so good. 

Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara, Narita 

 Japan is one of my favorite places to visit.  Lived there for almost two years.  Love the culture, the language, the food, the historical sites and the people! Visited with my cousin famous sumo wrestler - Musahimaru or Fiamalu Penitani

 Wonderful beautiful place...it's just a huge open air museum of art ! Food is sad though :\ but good if you're on a diet, you will loose weight :)) 

I didn't plan well for this amazing trip so I want to do it again.

A fantastic 2 week trip with my two beautiful sister in-laws, full of great adventures & great company we had so much fun, absolutely amazing food 🍹

I've travelled all over Japan from snowboarding in Hokkaido to basking on the beach in Okinawa.

I love make up from Japan !!!let's go shopping !!!!

 I traveled to japan for two weeks with some mates from uni back in 2008. I was a livfe long goal to go here but i fell like i didint get to see enough.

I will be going back again and hopfelly ill be soending over 2 month travleing aorund the whole country.

 Japan, summer 2014. Massive fun with karaoke, beer, video games and of course, lots and lots of ramen noodles.

We took a family trip along with my friend Sarah to Japan, stopping off in Tokyo and Nara. We visited the Square Enix Store in Tokyo and visited lots of Shrines in Nara. This was probably the best holiday I've ever had. 

i went to japan with 3 of my best friends in august 2015. it had been a long-time dream of mine to go to japan, and to travel with my friends. so this is like two goals achieved in one. 

i spent three weeks in japan and went to tokyo, nagoya, osaka, nara and kyoto.

best feeling ever. especially in the modernest country, you pick something new everyday 

 Como cuna del Shintoismo y país de vanguardia, Japón me parece una de las mezclas más elegantes, contradictorias y hermosas en la historia de la humanidad.

 We traveled with my grandmother (it was on her bucket list too). We saw Tokyo, Kyoto, and Yokohama. Caught glimpses of Mt. Fuji, rode the Shikansen, tried the foods, vistied the original China Town, saw real Geishas. Simply amazing trip.

Our 10year anniversary gift 

Finally visited the country I've been dreaming to visit! Best country I've visited by far!! Looking forward to going to Japan again!

Great trip
