Wordless Wednesday in Spring
Sakura 🌸 Spring in Tokyo
It's the time of the year. Spring is here which means Sakura season. Glad I managed to catch it this year unlike my first Spring visit to Tokyo when I was a month too early for the cherry blossom season. We caught a red-eye flight to Tokyo and were welcomed by the beautiful cherry blossoms. … Continue reading Sakura 🌸 Spring in Tokyo
Looking Back on My First Trip to Tokyo in Spring
If Japan is not on your list of countries to visit, perhaps is time to put it there. I have been transiting at the Narita Airport multiple times over the years on my way to the US and only stepped out of the airport into Tokyo in February 2016. It was my first visit to Tokyo … Continue reading Looking Back on My First Trip to Tokyo in Spring

Spring in Tokyo – Tsukiji Shijō & Akihabara
Tsukiji Fish Market (Tsukiji Shijō) was our first destination as it was just 10-minutes' walk from the hotel we stayed at. We were too tired to brave the early morning to watch the bidding, still, we managed to immerse ourselves by walking around the market and trying the freshly cooked seafood. All the seafood looked super … Continue reading Spring in Tokyo – Tsukiji Shijō & Akihabara
