I visited Japan for a week in December season wise December would have not been my first choice but honestly I couldn’t have wished for a better weather or more beautiful setting all of the trees have turned orange and red and with the Mist in the air the whole scenery could just simply

Be described as magical even though one week is not very long long me and my partner decided that we want to see more of Japan than just Tokyo so we bought the hukuru arch pass which is around 160 and we went to the snow monkey Park maybe you have seen

Pictures of these monkeys before playing in the hot springs for me going there was on my bucket list for years and I was not disappointed they’re so cute and so fluffy how they play around in their hot springs up in the mountains after visiting the snow

Monkeys we went to Kyoto Kyo is one of the oldest cities in Japan and the former base of the emperor so it has a lot of ancient buildings and temples and roads and streets and Street Arts it’s just really interesting to roam around and explore all the beautiful Hidden

Treasures that you find just by walking through all of the streets honestly the Fushimi Inari TAA Shrine Ino was my absolute highlight of the whole travel to Japan I saw it multiple times on social media but I didn’t expect it to be dead incredibly stunning and huge

Like if you want to visit a shrine please expect it to be more of a hike than just visiting a temple you go up the hills through all of the beautiful arches for I would say around 1 or if you’re a bit slower 1 and a half hours

Until you come up to the top of this little mountain and you can look down on Kyo in Japan there also exists the gisha culture geishas are traditional Japanese female entertainers known for their expertise in various Japanese Arts such as classical music dance and games they often wear kimonos have special

Hairstyles and wear wide makeup to embody craze and Beauty being in Japan in December I honestly expected much colder temperatures but honestly it was not that bad just in the last days it got a bit rainy and for D I chose to try out one of the hot springs also called onson

That Japan has to offer there are multiple onson around nakano the area where the snow monkey Forest is but there are also some in Kyo the bath is usually separated between male and female and you go in naked so obviously I was not able to film but basically

There are a lot of different pools inside and out most of them are very hot and it was just a very incredible and beautiful way to rest after the days of walking and exploring back in Tokyo there are so many things to do and it quickly got obvious that a couple of

Days are clearly not enough to see all of them as it was already mid of December I was getting a bit homesick or at least I miss the Christmas markets in Germany so I was really happy when we found a small Christmas Market underneath the sky tree and I had my

First mold wine of the year in the morning we also went up the sky tree and even though it’s usually very crowded up there it is stunning to see one of the world’s largest cities from above also I could see Mount fui which was so surreal

As I know the mountain shape from so many different movies and pictures one of the most popular areas in Tokyo is Shibuya it is especially famous for the Shibuya Crossing one of the biggest and most chaotic Crossings in the world I honestly just got soaked into this area and completely forgot to

Film another highlight of my Japan trip was going to the teams SLB exhibition I honestly never experienced anything like that and it really blew my mind giant interactive art installations real flowers that move fish that swim in the water and become flowers when you touch them it was literally as if a dream

World of mine came true it’s around 23 but for me it was very much worth it also can you even say that you actually experienced Japan if you haven’t tasted any of the traditional Japanese food in a week of us being in Japan we mainly survived from Sushi Ramen and more Sushi

And even though I teared up far too many times and I would like to agree because I used too much vabi I really loved it beside of sushi and ramen I tried a bunch of other Japanese food such as mes some pancakes where I really don’t remember the name anymore and every

Midday we got onigiris which I like sushi to go for lunch I have to say even though I was only here for one week I really fell in love with Japan and I hope this little video inspired you to also visit this beautiful country
