This hotel in Tokyo features artistic rooms where Japanese local artists come to paint directly on the walls. Each artist will paint only on one room, making each rooms unique.

Would you stay in these types of artist rooms or it's a bit too much for you.? FYI, this was the Otafuku room in reference of a popular figure in Japanese folklore representing good fortune and joy.

If you want to check more rooms, I booked the hotel here.

I had a wonderful trip to the beautiful area of Minami Aso in Kyushu. It's a close to the volcanic region of Aso and it's so underrated! The best would be to rent a car to explore it. You can go to Kumamoto first for example and start your road trip from there.

I give you few tips and cool places to visit in my Aso Travel Guide.

The countryside of Bentota was so enjoyable and you could find beautiful scenery. I recommend you to explore its surroundings with a scooter and wander here and there.

Jeonju was one of my favorite city during my trip to Korea and for 2 reasons! One, it's a foodie destination with so many amazing restaurants and it's actually the birthplace of Bibimbap, my favourite korean dish.

Two, it has a gorgeous hanok village that you can see in the picture above.

The largest Buddhist temple site from the ancient Baekje Kingdom.

The view from Coconut Hill was honestly even better than I expected. Standing there with the cliffs, palm trees, and the endless blue ocean right in front of me felt unreal, especially with the waves crashing below.

One of my favorite sunset spots I visited in Sri Lanka.

If you want to escape the crowd in Arashiyama, walk to this temple and admire its collection of 1,200 buddhist statues. They all have a different expressions and they almost feel alive!

This week, we feature a beautiful photo of a happy couple exploring the streets of Seoul. The editing style here is vintage and evokes nostalgia. It mimics the typical Korean drama colour palette.

I took this picture near the massive Xuanwu Emperor Statue at Lotus Lake in Kaohsiung, and honestly the scale of it surprised me in real life. Standing right below it makes you feel tiny. I really liked how the dark clouds and dramatic sky behind the statue gave the whole place a mysterious atmosphere.

The details on the statue itself are also pretty impressive when you get closer, especially the sword and the dragon elements around it. Definitely one of the most striking places I visited in Kaohsiung.

I randomly found this shrine while walking around Kamakura and honestly wasn’t expecting it to look like this. Fox statues everywhere. Some tiny, some a bit creepy, all hidden between the red torii gates and the trees.

Sasuke Inari Shrine is dedicated to Inari, and in Japanese folklore the foxes are considered the messengers of the gods. People used to believe they could protect the shrine, bring good fortune, and even carry prayers to the spirit world.

The atmosphere here felt very different from the bigger touristy shrines in Japan. Super quiet, a little mysterious, and you constantly feel like there’s another fox statue watching you from somewhere 😅

Probably one of my favorite hidden spots in Kamakura.

I spent 1 month volunteering in Tigman village and it's one of my best experience as a solo traveler in Asia. What made it unforgettable is how the people were so kind and simple. I wish I can go back there one day!

Shimeiso is a wonderful traditional Japanese house surrounded by a beautiful garden where spring water flows naturally. It is a place with a very calm and relaxing atmosphere, so I really recommend stopping by and enjoying a matcha tea there, for example.

Sunset in Mui Ne, Vietnam 🌅🇻🇳 — the shoreline filled with dozens of fishing boats gently drifting on the water, silhouetted against a glowing orange sky. The calm sea reflects the light beautifully, creating a peaceful, almost timeless scene. Unforgettable travel moment!
