Visiting Japan had always seemed out of reach for me. Year after year, my friends would visit, sharing stories of their travels while I lived vicariously through them. I could never join them for one reason or another, but I always looked forward to the time when I would finally make it work and see Japan for myself.

In early 2020, that time came. My trip was booked and ready to go, but the COVID pandemic forced it all to be cancelled. After some very tough years for everyone, things started to look up again.

In November 2023, I ventured to Japan on my own.

Whilst I was unsure if it would all work out and if I could even navigate through Japan alone, I knew that with all the challenges that led me here, this would be a trip to remember forever.

I dedicated & documented my journey to inspiring those who dream of visiting Japan. Whilst it’ll never be the same as being there, I hope to convey the sights and emotions, bringing Japan one step closer to you.
