Hi everyone!
Two weeks ago I took a trip to Japan. It was 17 years since my first visit to Tokyo and I was so excited to go back and meet my Japanese friends again. These friends were my roommates during my college time at UCSD in La Jolla and we kept in touch all these years.
I went to Tokyo and Kyoto and it was amazing!
Tokyo is exactly how I remembered and it was my first time in Kyoto, it's fascinating with all the temples in the forest.
I flew with Japan Airlines which was a pleasant surprise, economy class is very spacious and food was really good.
In Tokyo I stayed at the Celestine Shiba, in Kyoto at the Granbell hotel, both highly recommended.
I really enjoyed strolling around the streets in Tokyo, eating delicious food and sweets and shopping of course. I found a silk yukata that it's absolutely amazing.
If you have a chance to visit Kyoto take your time to visit the temples and absorb the spirituality and peace that surround them.
I hope you enjoy the pictures below!
Love, Fede
