If you are seeing a lot about Japan in your feed l If you are seeing a lot about Japan in your feed lately you probably have seen a lot of videos showing the over-tourism that is occurring there from the surge of tourists over the last few years. Part of the problem is everyone gets to Japan and goes to the same places. These places have become so overrun with people it takes away from the beauty of them. On our recent trip, we really tried to find alternatives to the popular spots you see on TikTok like this alternative to the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest in Kyoto. This beautiful temple is only up the street and so peaceful. For other sites that we still wanted to visit despite their popularity, we opted for “off” hours to avoid the crowds. So many spots are SO busy during certain times of the day and dead early in the morning or later in the day/evening. All in all, do your research and remember there is so much more to a place than what you see on social media! #Japan #Arashiyama #BambooForest

Honestly, we didn’t really have much of a problem, but I was open to any brand. I can’t wait to drink all of this!

A few days behind on these. I’m home now but get A few days behind on these. I’m home now but getting caught up. This was our last full day in Tokyo! 😢 Started the day with an onsen at our hotel then headed out to explore Harajuku & Shibuya areas. Had a failed attempt at Shibuya Sky (a huge observation deck) because of the weather, but made up for it with some some retail therapy, tasty homemade soda and a conveyor belt sushi. #Tokyo #Japan
And we’re back in Tokyo! 🇯🇵 The day starte And we’re back in Tokyo! 🇯🇵 The day started off with the train from Osaka. When we arrived, we headed straight to explore Shinjuku, where we’re staying for the last few days of our trip. We joined a food tour with @ninjafoodtours (more on that to come) and headed to a really cool bar called Zoetrope. The day ended with an onsen at the rooftop onsen in our hotel. 🧖🏼‍♀️ #Tokyo #Japan
Took a day trip from Osaka to Kurashiki which is a Took a day trip from Osaka to Kurashiki which is also known as “the Venice of Japan”. The historical centre was so picturesque and was a nice break from the busy city life. Kurashiki is known for its denim shops, quirky museums, cute shops nestled in historical buildings, and of course, the canel that runs through it. #Kurashiki #Japan #Osaka
