I Spent Two Weeks In Japan And I Fell In Love With This Country Where Past And Future Collide
I don’t remember how everything started. Or when. All I know is that 11 years ago I traveled outside my home country (Romania) for the first time. And I haven’t stopped since in my quest to travel the world. I have traveled to 51 countries around the globe, and I fell in love with each and every one of them. But today I will not talk about the first 50 of them, but about the 51st, Japan.
It has been on my list since forever, but somehow there were always better plane ticket offers for another destination. This is why I haven’t gotten to Japan until this spring.
Spring, they say, is the best season to visit the Country of the Rising Sun, especially during the cherry blossom. I did that I was surprised to find it even more beautiful than in the pictures.
For two weeks I toured the country and the only advice I can offer is travel as far as you can, eat as much as you can and enjoy it fully! Japan is a country of wonderful nature, great food and amazing history and people.
If I haven’t convinced you yet, I’ll show you my favorite 20 pictures of my holidays. Well, 21 pictures because there were two images of the cherry blossom I enjoyed equally.

Just one more, I couldn’t stop myself
You can still see gheishas on the streets of Kyoto
Fushimi Inari Taisha is just one of the wonders of Kyoto
Yep, no photoshop here. Still Kyoto, Arashiyama Bamboo Forest
Don’t miss Osaka, is a paradise for foodies and fashion lovers alike
Himeji is the most famous castle in Japan
A shinkansen (very fast train that looks like an alien) ride is a must
More than 1.000 deers roam free in the city of Nara. I mean free
Traditional Japan is everywhere
Nara became one of my favorite places
This is Kyoto
Another angle of the beauty of Japan
The streets of Kyoto
One of the most scenic cities in the world, Kyoto is an open garden
Traditional landscape
If the sky is clear, you can see Fuji mountain from Hakone lake
Try everything and you won’t be disappointed
