Category: Japan
Pictures, videos, and stories shared from Japan. Travel journey stories as I discover this amazing country. Learn about Japan’s street culture, see the amazing Japanese gardens and hidden places and find out about the top attractions, places, and things that you must see when you visit Japan for the first time.
I’ve visited Japan several times. I always come back because I love the Japanese people, its culture, beautiful architecture, and awe-inspiring Japanese gardens. It’s a place where I feel comfortable and safe. A country where no matter how much time you spent traveling, you always find something new and interesting to see.
Japan has amazing events and festivals. Each season is completely different than the other. I personally prefer visiting in Spring, more precisely in the Cherry Blossom season, or in Autumn, in the foliage season where the leaves of the trees change color.
Here you can find lots of photos, videos, travel tips, must-visit and do things in Japan, travel notes, and recommendations from all the places I visited in this wonderful country.
My main focus is on photography and sightseeing. Seeing new places that I haven’t seen before. I try to get out of the standard tourist routes to find interesting places to see but also see the famous and more popular attractions that attract many tourists each year.
I use my phone and camera to take pictures and videos and share the magic of this incredible country with all my travel blog visitors. I hope you enjoy your stay.
