We went to Japan this February/March for one of the most amazing trips. I thought after living for so long in Japan, I would somehow get less impressed each time we go, but the opposite seems to be true. There is still so much to explore and experience in Japan, I don’t think we will ever get enough of it .
There is a lot to show and tell, so I will dedicate a few posts to this amazing trip. The first one will be all about modern Tokyo!
We spent about 4 days in Tokyo, slowly adjusting to the timezone, and these days were absolutely full of highlights. The weather was amazing so we walked around a lot. We went to the neighorhood of Asakusa, famous for the huge lantern, and from there made our way to the Tokyo Skytree.
As we made our way to the Skytree, we visited a small shrine that was completely dedicated to… onigiri! Very funny, we also got an onigiri charm there for good luck!
The shrine was hidden in the middle of a dense neighborhood, easy to miss.
From there the views on the Skytree were amazing!
The Cherryblossoms were blooooming already! Not only around Asakusa, but also the park next to the Ghibli Museum which we visited the next day.
It actually hurt less than a traditional machine, because the pacing is less intense and with many breaks. I’d love to get another one haha.
We also met up with a lot of amazing friends from way back, which was really nice and nostalgic. We had a great four days in Tokyo, but it was time to catch the Shinkansen to Kyoto!
