{Japan 2012} Day 9: Tokyo – Imperial Palace & Shibuya

{Japan 2012} Day 9: Tokyo – Imperial Palace & Shibuya

It’s amazing how quick time flies when you’re having so much fun. Our honeymoon trip to Japan last year sure felt a little too short. What? Only a little over 10 days? Day 9: Ginza Time to move to  different hotel! For our last 2 nights of our Japan honeymoon, we decided to spend a little bit more and chose a nice Ginza hotel called Mitsui Garden Ginza Premier. And not just any room – we …

{Japan 2012} Day 8: Tokyo – Ikebukuro

{Japan 2012} Day 8: Tokyo – Ikebukuro

I love exploring one place at a time, one suburb a day. It gives you time to really immerse yourself with the culture and the people and the things that are around that area. Last year, we decided to go to Japan for our honeymoon and spent about 10 days there. We spent most of it in Tokyo, as we really do want to just explore the city that we’ve always been wanting to go …

{Japan 2012} Day 7: Tokyo – Shinjuku

{Japan 2012} Day 7: Tokyo – Shinjuku

Exploring new cities has never been my passion. I’m not so much interested in travelling for the most part. There are only a number of places in this world that I’d say: yeah, one day I wanna go there. Japan has always been one of them. So when the hubby and I got married last year, we decided to make that dream a reality (he, too, wants to visit the land of the rising sun). …

{Japan 2012} Day 6: Tokyo – Harajuku, Yoyogi Park, Akihabara

Tokyo is by far my favourite city on earth (so far). I love it. My hubby and I visited Japan in March 2012 for our honeymoon, for about 10 days in total. We focused our visit on Tokyo. With the little planning that we had (since we had a wedding to organise also), we found out that Sundays is a great day to be in several areas. Since we were only able to have one …

{Japan 2012} Day 5: Kyoto & Tokyo (rest day)

{Japan 2012} Day 5: Kyoto & Tokyo (rest day)

With less than 2 weeks in Japan, we stayed in Tokyo most of the time. However, we did have a really awesome short trip to Hakone and Kyoto too. And so on day 5, we spent some time in Kyoto before heading back to Tokyo. Hope this helps your future Japan trip, travelbugs! Day 5: Kyoto I love markets. They are colourful, filled with little trinkets that are useless but are so photogenic and usually, …

{Japan 2012} Day 2: Tokyo (rest day)

We were in Japan for 10 days in March 2012. Follow our trip as I try to document what I remembered and hopefully you will be able to find something interesting to add to your itinerary when you visit Japan! Day 2: Tokyo (rest day) I love organising trips. That’s a known fact among my friends. And when it comes to overseas trips, I always try to add some rest days in between the crazy …

{Japan 2012} Day 1: Tokyo Disney Sea, Urayasu

It has been more than a year since our honeymoon in Japan. We were there for about 10 days from mid-March, most of which were spent in Tokyo.

So here we go… Day 1: Tokyo Disney Sea We arrived at Narita International Airport, Tokyo at about 7 am in the morning. And our first stop for the day? Tokyo …
