SAKURA

I was really hoping to catch the cherry trees in bloom when I went to Japan. Luckily for me my trip coincided perfectly with Sakura season. The amazing thing with Japanese cherry trees is that they are everywhere, in parks and gardens, along river banks and train tracks,  infront of office buildings, almost anywhere you can  plant a tree.

Coming down from my Japan High

I had THE most fantastic trip to Japan - i am slowly coming down from the high, but I don’t want to! I want to remember and remember, every little detail! It was my first time in Japan and I had 13 whole days there, Tokyo, Nikko, Kyoto, Yokohama, Kamakura and more Tokyo... Could easily have had 13 more. I was non stop full time tourist, along with 1000s and 1000s of others, both Japanese and foreign visitors.
