Always love a Japanese garden 🌿 This one was especially lovely, even in winter.

If I have one tip for visiting Kyoto, it’s to make sure to stay in the city itself. Wander at times and into places overlooked by most.
It is tempting to stay in very nearby Osaka (which is a lot of fun, and can be cheaper) and/or stick to the well-defined tourist trail — but I’ve found that the off-peak hours offer the best experiences there. Unlike in most cities, for me it’s the quiet moments and peaceful respites that bring Kyoto to life.

Japan’s art and museums are consistently some of my favorites in the world. They even have an “art island” (Naoshima!)
Even if art isn’t at the top of your list while traveling, I highly suggest checking some out while in Japan. Anyone have a favorite there to share?

With its tidy streets, polite people, green spaces, and zen vibes, Japan must be one of the most pleasant places in the world to take a walk in the rain. ☔️ —

You often hear about Japan in the springtime and fall, but less is said about how magical the winter season is there ❄️ (but I thought you should know.)

If ever there were a reason to plan a trip to Japan in winter (besides ramen, tea, hot sake, heated seats everywhere andddd very few tourist crowds, that is) it’s to soak in onsen hot springs — which do in fact feel all the more restorative after a day in the snow.

Finally sitting down to go through Japan photos this weekend. Reviewing memories captured is one of my favorite ways to keep the trip magic alive back at home ✨

Tokyo days and nights.
To me Japan is one of the best places in the world to just sit back or walk around and watch the world pass by. There is so much peace and so much activity happening simultaneously — it never ceases to be interesting.

It was especially true in Tokyo at New Years, when everywhere gets the slightest bit quieter — minus the temples and shrines (which are busier!) ⛩
