Japan Life

Tokyo

Tokyo is an amazing city. Have you ever been? I’d imagined it would all look like the Shinjuku district — crowded, skyscrapers, traffic everywhere. But it’s surprising what a lovely city it is, filled with so many different neighborhoods, incredible restaurants, small businesses, kind people, awesome fashion!, beautiful gardens, so many charming cafe-lined side streets. And gosh, we were so impressed by how clean and organized it is. Even when walking in the most crowded part of the city {to get to H&M, YAY!}, shoulder to shoulder for blocks, it felt polite. Manners in Japan are truly unlike anywhere else we’ve ever been.

My favorite part of Tokyo was the precious hours I had with Cam before saying goodbye again, sitting at a little outdoor cafe, drinking vino {are you surprised? (: }, talking and watching with our jaws on the floor at each car that drove past. Ferrari, BMW, Mercedes, Aston Martin, Ferrari, repeat.  You all know by now that we love traveling together, and though deep down we’re not really city people {pretty please picture us on a vineyard one day raising a brood of kids and chickens and making wine} it’s so much fun experiencing them. Tokyo is one of the best cities we’ve been to. If you’ve never been, I hope you get to see it someday!

    We have a couple of close friends that are from Tokyo and we definitely want to visit them someday. One of them bought a Ferrari recently and has promised us a drive – makes it all the more attractive to my husband 😉

    Your photos always make me want to visit anywhere you've taken the picture. My travel list keeps getting longer and longer! I have to ask–what kind of boots are those?? I'm looking for some riding boots, and I love those.

    These photos are simply amazing and either you are so small or Cam is so tall but every time I see pictures of you guys together, I can just FEEL the love. Keep posting these gorgeous photos of your travels, we love them.

    I'm dying to go to Tokyo…actually I'm dying to go to Japan. If we decide we want to try and stay abroad, I told my husband to put Japan bases on his dream sheet.

    I'm a new fan to your blog…such beautiful pictures. I love everything Japanese, I took the language in school but sadly never made it to Japan (well except for a few hours in the airport on the way from Australia to the U.S). One day I'll visit it properly…until then, I'll just live through your blog 🙂

    I just want to come hang out with you and go on adventures 🙂 Your photos always leave me feeling that way. So pretty! Boo to Tokyo's traffic though!

    Wow, beautiful photos (as always) and you have inspired me to want to go here. I know China is such a hustling bustling place, I would love to see the peacefulness of Japan, Tokyo! And glad to see you enjoyed your time with Cam again 🙂

    Wonderful pictures and you really captured a side of Tokyo that I have rarely seen before. Looks absolutely cute! I have never been, but – as you know – I am dying to travel to Japan sooner then later!! Great shots and happy Thanksgiving! x
