Japan 2024
My trip to Japan in spring 2024. In March I went on my dream vacation for three weeks. Wonderful! 素晴らしい!
First to Tokyo, then on a tour to Miyagi, Kyushu, Kansai, Ishikawa, and then a few days back in Tokyo.
There were a ton of amazing impressions, many of which were completely foreign, but everything was great fun. The food was fantastic, the people incredibly friendly and I never felt anything bad could happen. The weather… well, let’s talk about the nice things – but there were also sensationally great days, for example in Kyushu.
