Japan 2024
In March 2024, I finally made my dream trip to Japan happen – a full three weeks of adventure! 素晴らしい!
I kicked things off in Tokyo, then went on an epic tour through Miyagi, Kyushu, Kansai, and Ishikawa, before wrapping up with a few more days in Tokyo. The whole experience was packed with mind-blowing moments – you know those “wait, am I really seeing this?” kind of things that make travel so amazing. The food was absolutely incredible, and I couldn’t get over how genuinely friendly everyone was. I felt completely safe the whole time, no matter where I went.
The weather… well, let’s just say it had its own plans! But hey, I got some truly perfect days, especially down in Kyushu, which more than made up for it.
