✈️➡️🇯🇵 Tokushima 🪭🌀🌊

Out of Japan’s 47 prefectures, Tokushima is in the 4 least visited 🥺 but that’s all the more reason to visit! Such unique scenery & just as rich cultural experiences, Tokushima has so much to offer you 🥹

🔖 Help more people see this lesser explored prefecture by sharing it to your stories & don’t forget to save this reel as a guide for this off-the-beaten-path part of Japan! The places featured are…

🪭 Awa Odori Kaikan - a museum with live performances of Awa Odori, one of Japan’s most famous dances, you can even join in at the end! 100% must-visit if you’re not in Tokushima during the Awa Odori festival in August

🌀 Naruto whirlpools - the fastest current in Japan & and is an incredible natural sight to see!

🌊 Uzu-no-michi walkway - try seeing the whirlpools by walking above them!

🦉 Oasahiko shrine - a true power spot with a 1000 year old+ camphor tree & the German Bridge, a symbol of friendship between Germany & Japan

🎏 Ryozen-ji temple - the first of the 88 temples of the Shikoku pilgrimage, it’s so peaceful with plenty of koi fish & a room full of lanterns ✨

⬇️ Sanja Matsuri - Tokyo’s wildest festival!

⬇️ Sanja Matsuri - Tokyo’s wildest festival!🏮

Super excited as one of the most anticipated festivals of the year is coming up this month in the heart of Asakusa!

Being one of Tokyo’s top 3 largest festivals, it’s famous for being the most chaotic & rowdy 🤭 attracting around 2 million visitors over the weekend with many hoping to catch a glimpse of Tokyo’s underground world…

In modern years, especially abroad, this matsuri has become synonymous with yakuza, with one newspaper titling it “Yakuza Day” 😅 Their involvement goes back to the 1950s when there weren’t enough people to carry the mikoshi (the portable shrines) around the neighbourhood, so they allowed anyone to sign up. It actually has a looong history though! Held since 1312 in honour of the three men who founded Senso-ji temple, there are plenty of cultural experiences to see such as shrine maiden dancing & 100 mikoshi being carried around the streets of Asakusa & through the famous lantern gate of Kaminarimon 🏮

Of course it’s suuuuper crowded but this is one time of year you won’t mind as the atmosphere is truly something else! Highly recommend to stop by Hoppy Street, drink with the locals & try Asakusa’s famous drinks, Hoppy & Denki Bran! 🍻

Japan’s pinkest little secret! 🩷 If you happ

Japan’s pinkest little secret! 🩷

If you happen to be late to cherry blossom season in Japan, no need to worry! There’s another adorable little tiny pink flower decorating landscapes everywhere - shibazakura! Known as moss phlox in English, some of these are the brightest pink you’ll see! 🌸

Despite @courtneyscheff & I arriving past the peak we were still so impressed with the beauty of this park, one of Japan’s most famous for late spring! The backdrop of these towering mountains makes you feel like you’re on a movie set 🤭 the park itself is huge & in peak season there are over 400,000 shibazakura of 10 types to see! I’ll definitely be coming back next year so I can see it in all its glory 💜

🚄 It’s a really easy & comfortable day trip from Tokyo taking only 1.5 hours with public transport! You get to take a very futuristic limited express train called La View from Ikebukuro (central Tokyo) to Seibu-Chichibu station & from there it’s a 15 minute walk

🔖 Make sure to SAVE for your Japan spring trip in case those pesky little sakura are late again next year! 🌸

📍 Hitsujiyama Park (quite literally means Sheep Mountain Park & they actually have a few cute sheep! 🐑), Chichibu, Saitama
📆 Best time to visit is late April - early May

💠 A Ghibli-like view in blue 🩵

8000 beautiful baby blue eyes swaying against a backdrop of Mt. Fuji 🗻 with the little rustic blue house it felt like I’d been transported into a world of Ghibli…

We visited on a Sunday at midday & were surprised at how quiet it was here! It was a little hazy but you can still just about spot Fuji-san peeking out above the clouds & if you visit earlier in the morning you’d have a better chance of a clear view 🗻

🍦 make sure to relax & enjoy some sakuramochi ice cream whilst listening to old Showa music in the cafe too 🥹

Kamakura - an hour yet a world away from Tokyo K

Kamakura - an hour yet a world away from Tokyo

Kamakura is one of the best day trips you can have from Tokyo & whilst the famous parts may be busier, there are plenty of quieter spots too! Here’s what we did the other weekend & what I recommend for a lovely day out…

⛩️ Enjoy shrine & temple hopping, some of my favourites are Meigetsuin (featured in this reel), famous for hydrangeas blooming in June & also a secret sakura spot in spring! 🌸

The other temple in this reel is Kencho-ji, one that has beautiful blossoms, trails with a Mt. Fuji view plus it’s own Buddha! But if you’re visiting Kamakura you definitely need to visit Daibutsu - the Big Buddha!

🌸 Don’t miss Danzakura, the cherry blossom lined road which takes you to Tsurugaoka Hachimangu, the most important temple in Kamakura & close by is Komachi-dori - the place for souvenir shopping! 🪭

🍸 One of the classiest bars around this area is The Bank (@thebank_kamakura) a stylish cocktail bar located on the premises of you’ve guessed it, the local bank 🏦 reservations recommended

🌊 If the weather’s nice a short stroll away is the beach! Perfect for a beer over the sunset 🌅

🥢 for a special yet reasonably priced dinner, head to Mi Casa (@mi_casa_kamakura) a very highly rated restaurant with the concept of Japanese x Modern Spanish fusion set in a beautiful kominka (old Japanese house)

🚃 & don’t forget to ride the Enoden, Japan’s most loved railway featured in plenty of anime! Connecting Fujisawa with Kamakura, every station has its own charm ✨

🏹 Share with someone who’d love to visit Kamakura one day! 🚃

🔖 make sure to SAVE this reel as I’ve included several tips you don’t often see in Kamakura guides! ✨

Don’t miss this natural Mt. Fuji view in blue 🩵

With all the talk of the Lawson x Mt. Fuji debacle, shots of Mt. Fuji from in front of alternative conbini are already popping up… But instead of clogging up a car park, road & disrupting the lives of local residents, why not visit a more natural view of Mt. Fuji from a field of 8000 beautiful baby blue eyes, or nemophila as they’re called here? 💠

You can take your photo leisurely without worrying about being in the way & this place would just love to have you visit! It was a little hazy when we visited but you can spot Fujisan peeking out just above the clouds & if you visit earlier in the morning you’ll have a better chance of a clear view 🗻 I’m certain you’ll enjoy this place regardless as the views of the surrounding mountains are spectacular too! Plus you can relax & enjoy some sakuramochi ice cream whilst listening to old Showa music 🥹

Don’t miss this inconspicuous little charming cafe, tucked away inside the grounds of one of Kamakura’s temples ✨

Kamakura’s a busy place these days & at some point you’ll want to grab a seat & catch your breath so why not enjoy a slice of lemon cake & coffee too? 🍋 this delightful, welcoming café is run by a friendly woman who speaks English & there are so many coffees to choose from! We loved the geisha blend ☕️ & all the while we were there, nostalgic music was playing 🎶

Super thankful to the wisteria blooming 💜 without it, I would’ve been like the many other visitors just strolling on past 🥹

A Mt. Fuji morning at the most relaxing hotel 🗻

Truly a dream come true to start our married life as a fūfu (married couple) at Fufu Kawaguchiko 🤭

Waking up to Mt. Fuji in all its glory is something that you just can’t forget! April’s said to be the second worst month to see Mt. Fuji, as it’s only fully visible for 23% of the month so we definitely got lucky! 😍 Something to bear in mind when you plan your Japan trip, thankfully this hotel has so much to enjoy that even if you can’t see Mt. Fuji I’m sure you’d still have a wonderful time ☺️

📍 Fufu Kawaguchiko (@fufu_kawaguchiko) Can’t recommend this hotel enough if you’re looking for the perfect place to relax & rejuvenate on your Japan trip!

Post-sakura blues in Japan? 🌸 head to this hill of little blueties 💠

One of the most beautiful sights I’ve ever seen is this hill of 5 million blue nemophila, also called baby blue eyes 🥹 this park also has so much more to offer with azaleas, nanohana & tulips! 🌷

🔖 It’s in full bloom now expected to last til this weekend according to the official website, so if you’re wondering what to do this weekend, why not give this place a visit? 💙

🇯🇵 Japanese Apartment Tour 🏙️ A lovel

🇯🇵 Japanese Apartment Tour 🏙️

A lovely little apartment based in Yokohama’s Chinatown which I grew to really love before moving out to our current house 🏡 It was a level up in terms of size from my Tokyo apartment (scroll way down on my reels page to find that one) but at the beginning I can’t lie, I did miss living in central Tokyo🗼

What I loved about this apartment:
💴 No key money 🔑 Key money is essentially a “gift payment” you give to landlords normally about 1 months rent (moving in Japan is real expensive 😢) so I was pleased that I only had to pay 2 month deposit (still a huge upfront cost but I did actually get it all back)

🚃 Close to both JR & Toyoko line so I could get into central Tokyo super quickly! Having access to two train lines is a dream in Japan where you always need to use the train

🥢 Could eat soup dumplings anytime for dinner 🤪 Chinatown midweek is super chill too & not at all chaotic like the weekends

👗 The walk-in closet & drying function of the bathroom! Without a tumble dryer it is so convenient to hang your clothes up & have them dry inside!

🏙️ Being on the 9th floor which was the top meant no one was stomping around above me but to be honest I barely heard any neighbours in this building!

What I didn’t like so much…
🥁 The sound of drumming until gone 9pm at night from nearby temples & schools very frequently, so loud 😳

🌆 I really wanted to use the balcony but even on the 9th floor the smell from nearby restaurants would waft up so it was hard to get fresh air into the apartment 😖

💸 The move-in costs but this goes for any Japanese apartment, it is so expensive moving here! How does it compare to your country?

I hope you liked the tour! If you have any questions let me know in the comments below! 👇

The type of cherry blossom magic you dream of & ca

The type of cherry blossom magic you dream of & can find as soon as you escape Tokyo 🌸

🌸 This temple had so many sakura trees of different types dotted around the premises, in fact there were more cherry blossom trees than people admiring them! If you want to experience the zen side of Japan that many imagine, then I can’t encourage you enough to get out of the city & explore the surrounding prefectures as there are so many stunning places like this waiting for you to discover them!

I was particularly blown away by the 100 year old pink weeping shidarezakura as it’s quite rare to be able to freely walk through the branches. This one is particularly special too as it was one of the only survivors of the large fire that burnt down the original temple in 1949 🥺

✨ Top tip! Combine your visit with the marvellous Wanitsuka Sakura (see a recent previous reel) & the 2000 year old Jindai Sakura (scroll down for that post)

🗻 Mt. Fuji’s Sea of Pink! 🌸🛶

Hundreds of thousands of pink, white & lilac shibazakura literally meaning “lawn cherry blossom” (how cute! 🤭) are beginning to bloom right in front of our old favourite, Fuji-san! 🌸

With 7 varieties of this little sakura making the pink panorama you can really “Breathe, pink” - this theme of the 17th year of this Mt. Fuji festival! 🩷

Last time people accused me of trampling the flowers to row in the boat but of course there is a path organized by the resort 😅 the two other photo spots for this year are a fairytale book framing Mt. Fuji & a yellow dokodemo door 😍 Have you ever seen such pink flowers? 🩷

🌸 Two alternative cherry blossom river spots 🍡

Whilst Nakameguro will always have its charm & the matsuri feeling there is fun, some people visiting are surprised & somewhat overwhelmed by the huge crowds especially on weekends so if you want to avoid those & enjoy a bit more of a local vibe, I recommend…

📍 Kanda River in Tokyo
📍 Ookagawa River Promenade in Yokohama

They’re just as beautiful & not as well known, so if you’re looking for a slightly more relaxing way to see the cherry blossoms in Tokyo or nearby Yokohama this weekend, I recommend you to visit one of these! 🌸

Oh & the reason I say Yokohama’s is even better is that it gets you to see a city most tourists sadly skip but is so worth visiting! It has a completely different vibe & there are so many cool local cafes, bars & restaurants along this river for you to check out!🍻

🚃 For Kanda river - start from Edogawabashi station (exit 1a) & stroll along the river until you reach Waseda, there are a couple of little parks along the way & you can even set up a blanket under the sakura in some spots.
🚃 For Ookagawa river - my favourite is starting the walk from Sakuragicho or Hinodecho station & going along!

📆 Visit the next few days & this weekend to see the last of the blossoms as green leaves emerge & the petals start to fall 🍃

🌸 A temple with sakura in every corner you look

🌸 A temple with sakura in every corner you look! With an abundance of higanzakura, shidarezakura & the famous somei yoshino cherry blossom to be found here, it really is a sakura lover’s dream 🌸

The 100 year old pink weeping shidarezakura is the true star of the show here though, having survived the large fire which burnt down the original temple in 1949 🥺

I was genuinely surprised why this temple isn’t more well-known as it really is such a beauty, but when researching it is quite tricky to get to with public transport so a car would be best 🚗

📷 by the way, which edit do you prefer? The soft pink or fluffy white one for the first two photos? I couldn’t decide so went for a combination 🤭

✨ Top tip! Combine your visit with the marvellous Wanitsuka Sakura (see previous reel) & the 2000 year old Jindai Sakura (scroll down for that post)

📍Nichirenshu Myoryo Temple, Yamanashi
📆 taken April 2nd, now the petals are falling so either visit for the sakura snowstorm or save for next year! 🔖

In an area of hundreds of peach farms lies this road lined with cherry & peach blossoms alongside a gently flowing river 🌸

With Mt. Fuji view roads like those in Fujiyoshida now overwhelmed with tourists, we were pleasantly surprised to come across this even more beautiful view with nobody around, just us ✨

Imagine how even more stunning it’ll be full bloom on a clear day! 🗻

🌸 Most beautiful sakura tree in Japan? 🇯🇵

🌸 Most beautiful sakura tree in Japan? 🇯🇵

My third time seeing this Edo higan sakura tree yet I am just as blown away as the first time I laid eyes on it!

330 years old & over 17m tall with a shape like those drawn in fairytale books 🗻 With a Mt. Fuji backdrop from one side (was so excited to see for the first time this year!) and the Yatsugatake mountains from the opposite, the Wanitsuka no Sakura is one of the most loved sakura trees in Japan 🌸 It’s easily the most beautiful cherry blossom tree I’ve laid eyes on in my 12 sakura seasons spent in Japan & I’m sure if you visit, you’ll also agree with me! 🇯🇵

By the way, the black bin-like objects by the way are lights not trashcans 🤭 so you could also visit this spot to see the illuminated tree at night! 💡

📍Wanitsuka/Wanizuka no Sakura, Nirasaki, Yamanashi

🌸 New beginnings in spring! 💒

A little note to apologise for not posting much lately as I’ve been playing tour guide for my family (so itineraries will be coming to you soon!) & just to let you know I’ll be absent over the next few days as my wedding is finally here! 🥹💒 Just in time for the sakura to bloom too! 🌸

I like to tell myself they were waiting for us 🤭 It’s the latest blooming since 2012 which interestingly is actually the first time I ever experienced Japan’s sakura season! 15 days later than last year but thankfully Tokyo has officially announced yesterday that blooming has started so I can hopefully see some on my wedding day! 🤞🌸

I had thought based on early forecasts & my past experiences that they’d be in full bloom or even sakura fubuki (sakura snowstorm) for my wedding but that’s the nature of cherry blossoms, always blooming at their own pace! Just like me, it took time for me to find myself & then to find the man I look forward to spending a lifetime with 🥹 The best things really are worth waiting for! That’s enough cheesy romantic stuff from me now, will save the rest for the wedding 🤭✨

I’ll be back to sharing more Japan travel spots (including sakura) soon! Stay tuned! 🌸

📷 Our engagement/pre-wedding photo shoot was captured by the wonderful @cj_photo_works - if you’re looking to capture special memories on your trip to Tokyo, you’ll want to reach out to him!✨

🌸 Kyoto’s rarely seen camellia temple 🌺

Only open to the public for two short periods a year, during spring season for the blooming of its famous camellias & the changing of the leaves in autumn, it’s one of Kyoto’s rarely seen hidden temples! ✨

With 100 varieties of camellia, every little pocket of this enchanting temple is filled with such beauty 🥹 just tucked away off The Philosopher’s Path it offers a peaceful little respite from your cherry blossom walk 🌸

Other than it’s name of The Camellia Temple, it’s also known as The Imperial Residence in the Valley ✨ Since 1654 to the Meiji Restoration, Imperial Princesses served as the head Priestesses there 🙏 if it’s good enough for a princess, I’m sure it’s beautiful enough to impress you! 🥰

🔖 SAVE for your trip to Kyoto, trust me, you’ll need to get away from the chaos of the hotspots of the city to find a moment of zen!

Japan’s Path of Happiness 🌸 You can see why it has this name in Japanese can’t you? 🥹 A long row of harumeki cherry blossoms right next to a gently flowing river, it’s a sakura dream come true!

With less than 40 reviews on Google Maps & with us literally being the only people there last year, it’s very much a quieter, local spot to enjoy a picnic beneath the blossoms 🌸 If you’re looking to live out anime in real life, then you’ll want to make the adventure to this spot! ✨

Did you spot the little pastel houses in the background? 🏡 I’d love to live in the mint green one with this view of sakura! 🌸

🏹 Feel free to share to your stories but no reposts without permission

📍 On Google Maps it’s written as 「幸せ道」 you can find this place close by to the Harumeki-Sakura Cherry Blossoms in English and is near the main Harumeki ・
Shiawase Michi Sakura Matsuri festival but is further downstream the river. To see the other popular viewpoint of Harumeki sakura, scroll down to my 🌸 posts from last year & you’ll find the slightly more well-known (yet still super quiet!) sakura spot of Kanagawa!

🚃 Closest to the Fuji Film-Mae station, Minami-ashigara, Kanagawa

📆 Blooming now! These were taken this day last year - 19/03/2023
