Back in March my boyfriend left for Japan to pursue his dream of living and working in another country. In June I was able to take an entire month off from work and go explore Japan with him. It was glorious. I want to talk about each city or island we visited as each deserve a mention.
I landed in Tokyo on the 2nd of June, jetlagged off my face. I just can’t get the hang of timezones and sleep patterns. I struggle to sleep on public transport (unless it’s the 2am Thameslink from St Pancras to Bedford …)
My gorgeous Leonard met me at the Haneda airport and off we went on the train into Tokyo. We had a little Airbnb booked for our first week in Tokyo, with a view of a graveyard and a small shrine just a minute away.
Day one went by in a blur with Leonard pretty much having to manage a sleep walking girlfriend! Over the month we visited Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Hiroshima, Miyajima, Okinawa (a couple of places there as it’s a huge island), Yakushima and then finally back to Tokyo.
I’m excited to write about my trips, which will hopefully pop up between other posts.
