Konichiwa Japan!

We are in Japan! For 2 days already. We were sad to part with Korea – felt like 10 days wasn’t really enough for the beautiful country. But! Japan is awesome. We finalized our 2 week travel plans for the country last night, which are as always subject to change if we feel like it. If you are curious, have a look at our itinerary:

October 5 – Arrive in Fukuoka, make our way to Hiroshima

October 6- Hiroshima city and Miyajima island

October 7: Naoshima island of modern art and natural beauty

October 8-12: Kyoto

October 13: Takayama

October 14: Jigokudani Monkey Park and Onsen (!!!)

October 15-18: Tokyo
