Hello everyone! I recently stayed at a traditional guesthouse (Minshuku) called "Banjou-ya" in Kumomi Onsen, Nishi-Izu, and it was absolutely fantastic. To my surprise, a massive boat-wrap of fresh sashimi and a whole simmered splendid alfonsino (Kinmedai) were included as standard! The natural hot spring (Onsen) was super authentic and rejuvenating. If you're exploring the Izu Peninsula and want a truly local, warm experience with incredible food, I highly recommend booking directly with them. Check out my full review with photos on my blog!

It's been exactly one year since my first solo trip to Japan. My second trip to Japan, I decided to brave summer holidays (which is usually not recommended in that period). The high temperature and humidity were a daily challenge, but it was an amazing experience. I'd like to share here some pictures I took that capture what this trip meant to me!

If you love art, architecture, and are looking for a quiet space in Tokyo to slow down and get inspired—put Museum of Narrative Takanawa (MoN Takanawa) at the top of your list for your next trip
While the adults performed their traditional dance in full costume, local kids in the crowd couldn't resist dancing along while watching them. It was so heart-warming to see how this centuries-old tradition gets passed down to the next generation naturally.
Location: Miyoshi City, Tokushima Prefecture
Event: Ikeda Awa Odori Festival (いけだ阿波踊り)
Happy Obon, everyone! Wishing you a peaceful holiday filled with good memories, warm baths, cold beer, and time to appreciate the people who came before us.
When I want some calm and relaxation time, one of my favourite destination is Yugawara Onsen. It's not too far from Tokyo and you can rest peacefully here in a cool retro vibe.
Manazuru port is close so make sure to go there and enjoy the fresh fish and seafood!
I listed here some of the best places to visit while you are in Yugawara Onsen.

January 2022, Japan. 🇯🇵
In the middle of the COVID period, I visited Nachi Falls — and the place was completely deserted.
I found myself alone in front of this immense waterfall, surrounded by nature and silence. Literally no other visitors. Just me, the shrine staff, and the sound of the water.
Standing there, facing one of Japan’s most beautiful waterfalls with absolutely nobody around, felt almost unreal.
A magical moment that I’ll never forget.
2022年1****月、日本。🇯🇵
コロナ禍の真っただ中、那智の滝を訪れました。
驚くほど人がいなくて、境内にいたのは、神社の方々を除けば文字通り自分ひとり。
目の前には壮大な那智の滝。聞こえてくるのは滝の音だけで、周りには誰もいませんでした。
日本を代表する美しい滝を、たったひとりで眺めるという、まるで現実ではないような時間。
今でも忘れられない、特別で素晴らしい瞬間でした。
Janvier 2022, Japon. 🇯🇵
En pleine période du Covid, je visite les chutes de Nachi. L’endroit est complètement désert.
Je me retrouve seul face à cette immense cascade, entouré par la nature et le silence. Littéralement aucun autre visiteur. Il n’y a que moi, le personnel du sanctuaire et le bruit de l’eau.
Se retrouver ainsi seul face à l’une des plus belles cascades du Japon, sans personne autour, donnait presque l’impression d’être hors du temps.
Un instant magique que je n’oublierai jamais.
