I spent a month in Japan — and these are the place I spent a month in Japan — and these are the places I don’t regret visiting on my fourth trip. 🇯🇵

🗺️ Comment ‘guide’ and I’ll send you my 3-week Japan travel itinerary! 🗺️

Out of hundreds of photos, these are just a few of my favourite moments from travelling through Japan last summer. It was my fourth visit, this time venturing well beyond the Golden Route.

The quiet walking trails, slower mornings, and natural landscapes felt worlds away from the neon lights, skyscrapers, and crowds that many people imagine when they think of Japan. As incredible as Tokyo and Osaka are, stepping beyond them revealed a softer, more contemplative side of the country that I’ll always hold onto.

Visiting these lesser-travelled places last summer was a reminder that some of Japan’s most beautiful moments exist off the well-worn path.

💭 Have you visited any of these places in Japan?

📍Places in Japan featured in the carousel:

🏖️ The sandbar in Miyazu Bay, northern Kyoto Prefecture

⛩️ Kurama-dera — an easy day trip from Kyoto

✨ A charming canal town in Okayama Prefecture, known for its Edo-period merchant district 

🚞 The panoramic open-air train along the Takachiho Railway

🌿 Shirakawa-go — a UNESCO World Heritage village of traditional thatched farmhouses

🌊 The seaside village of Ine, in northern Kyoto Prefecture

New year goals and mindsets I’m carrying into this New year goals and mindsets I’m carrying into this year. 🙇🏻‍♀️🌱

These are a few gentle promises I’m making to myself — spanning personal, financial, and productivity habits as I navigate my mid-twenties.

If my twenties have taught me anything, it’s that goals need intention. Not a “I’ll do it later” mindset, but one that still knows how to appreciate the present while planning for the future.

💭 Enjoyed this post? Comment “list”, and I’ll send you my full list of New Year's goals and habits.

💬 What are you hoping to prioritise this year?
