My Japan trip

So I had the availability to visit my husband while he is working in Japan from October through November and I honestly miss it so much that I can't wait to go back again

Pros

We got to go thrifting where I found my new favorite jacket a blue North Face jacket

We also had some amazing food that made my sensitive stomach never act up once we got to see the countryside of things

And I got to make deserts with local apples that our area was known for

The mall in the next city was so fun to walk around too

Cons

We never got to go to Tokyo or any other big city

We also never really got out much

It was a 14-hour plane ride out of the Atlanta International Airport which was very long for it being my second trip traveling on a plane but it wasn't unbearable

Overall I love going to see a new country and experiencing a different culture than here in the US as well as getting to see my husband while he is working I can't wait to go back in the late winter / early spring anyway TTYL💋#Japan #japantravel

Thrift shopping is increasingly popular, with hidden treasures waiting to be found in local shops. The culinary delights of Japan are remarkable, featuring fresh ingredients and flavorful dishes.

For anyone planning a trip, don’t miss out on seasonal festivals, which showcase local traditions and arts. Traveling can involve long flights, but the experience is often well worth the journey. For travelers in search of a unique adventure, Japan offers a blend of experiences that create lasting memories.
