JAPAN

Japan has been a dream that finally came true. After years of imagining walking its streets, I finally had the opportunity to do so. June was not the perfect time to visit because of its frequent showers, but Japan is so rich in culture that even bad weather couldn’t tarnish the beauty of this country.

From skyscrapers to bamboo forests, from neon-lit arcades to ancient and traditional temples, Japan is a world apart, unique and impossible to compare to anywhere else in the world. Every corner tells a story, harmoniously blending the modern and the traditional.

I wanted to spend months exploring every corner of this land, but unfortunately I only had two weeks. It was not possible to delve into the lesser-known areas but I savored enough of its magic to leave me with a strong desire to return. Japan was an immersion in the cultural richness, scenic beauty and kindness of its people.

I look forward to returning, exploring new areas and being captivated again by the magic of this extraordinary country.
