Japan, Castles, Shinkansen trains—and a bit of me I thought I’d lost

 


I have just returned from travelling around Japan. It was the first visit for both of us, and we absolutely loved it.

I'm sharing the most beautiful sight I saw: Himeji Castle. It is quite literally breathtaking.

I could write for hours about what we loved most about Japan.

What impressed me the most was how kind, gentle, and hardworking the Japanese people are – and how incredibly safe Japan feels.

We bought a 14-day Japan Rail Pass and took many journeys on the shinkansen. We really enjoyed riding them!

Before this trip, we hadn’t travelled long-distance for over ten years (for various reasons), and I was a bit nervous – the world had changed since our travelling days. But we were absolutely thrilled to discover that the spirit of adventure is still very much alive in us.
