Smile smile smile.✨I keep seeing things online stating that it’s “not about what happens to you but it’s about how you react to it”. I am attempting to react more like a sane and normal person instead of a crazed harpy. Let’s see how that goes ~ : @bettinastaana
Taking pictures in public is hard since some people tend to be buttholes about it even though we’re just here trying to make memories. Swipe right to see how I reacted when I saw people being rude to @bettinastaana and I! (I think I yelled “how about you pay attention to your own girlfriends” or something ) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Normally I don’t say anything and try to ignore them but I guess my patience didn’t exist today. ♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . #moodnation #ノルウェー #kichijoji #Норвегия #weroamabroad #adventuregirl #visitjapan #挪威 #journeyofgirls #travelgirl #travelawesome #girlswhotravel #lofoten #iamtb #citizenfemme #femmetravel #flynorwegian #sheisnotlost #dametraveler #travellikeagirl #nomadgirls #girlsmeetglobe#girlgetters #stayandwander (at 吉祥寺) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8HODktHLnT/?igshid=1tqlgln03ble3
Our journey home began high in the mountains of Daisetsuzan National Park and ended back where we started, at Tokyo’s Haneda Airport. Read on to follow the final leg of our journey, that in just seven days took us from tropical Okinawa to icy Hokkaido.
Wild Hokkaido: expansive landscapes define Japan’s northern isle, where the lowest population density of all 47 prefectures puts nature at the fore.
Leaving Mount Kuradake just as the light began to fade, our drive from Daisetsuzan National Park to Asahikawa Airport took us through Hokkaido’s characteristic rural landscape. Towering rock faces and forested peaks soon give way to broad horizons, where remote towns and snow-covered farmland fill expansive valleys. In Hokkaido, nature takes centre-stage and any road-trip through the prefecture’s breath-taking scenery is endlessly rewarding.
Hokkaido soft serve: No trip to Japan’s chilly northern tip is complete without sampling the country’s finest, and freshest, ice-cream.
Our journey through Japan had been made possible only by ANA’s extensive domestic flight network, making travel between the country’s far-flung prefectures staggeringly easy. Much like catching a train, each leg of our journey had proved speedy and hitch-free, with our final flight transporting us from remote Ashaikawa in central Hokkaido, back to bustling Tokyo in under two hours.
But whilst the journey was swift, we found time before boarding for one final taste of the region – a tub of creamy Hokkaido soft-serve – made using local milk, and arguably Japan’s tastiest ice-cream.
With our flight home to London departing the following morning, our last night in Japan was spent at Tokyo’s Haneda Airport, watching planes come and go from Excel Hotel Tokyu’s perfectly positioned bedroom windows. Heaven for plane-spotters, Excel Tokyu’s rooms overlooking Haneda airport’s domestic runway put guests nose-to-nose with the action, where watching Terminal Two’s busy comings and goings proves surprisingly mesmeric.
Last November, We Are Japan took a seven-day trip – exploring the country’s most remote corners to discover sand and soba, skiing and snow crab all in one week. Follow our trip over the coming weeks as we track our journey from the tropical south to the frozen north.
You can either take a ropeway or do one of the 3 main hiking trails up the castle. I went ahead and did the hardest one, Umanose, which is not the most recommended route as it will have you climb straight up the face of the mountain. The view overlooking the city and the river from the top made the climb all worth it otherwise.
About 3 hours away from Shizuoka City (a couple train rides and a nausea inducing bus ride- at least for me ). Deep within Shizuoka’s Southern Alps mountain range, you will find the Yume no Tsuribashi or the Dream Suspension Bridge. Below it is the gorgeous cobalt blue, Sumata River. Only 10 people at a time are allowed to go thru the bridge.
They say that it is a tradition that while crossing it, stop in the middle and make a wish about somebody you think fondly of.
Again, photos don’t do justice to how gorgeous this place is. Another favorite spot added to the list.
I just had to visit it again for this trip before renovations start in June. It still is very beautiful otherwise. ⛩ 。 。 。 #japan2019 #prefecturehopping #ig_japan #instagramjapan #visitjapan #japantravel #experiencejapan #explorejapan #traveljapan #backpacking #solotraveller #myjapan #visitjapanjp #japanphoto #japanphotography #japanloverme #bestjapanpics #unknownjapan #japanesestyle #japanfocus #tokyocameraclub #beautifuldestinations #exploreeverything #passionpassport #chugokuregion #okayama #tottori #shimane #yamaguchi #hiroshima (at The Great Torii 大鳥居) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwY3oPghzO8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11cdxw8cgef2h
