Japan - Part 1 Tokyo (Dec. 2016)
Japan had never really been on my radar as somewhere I REALLY wanted to visit, but after talking to other people who had loved it there, we decided to go!

I'm going to do my best to share only the highlights from our trip because otherwise I'll be here for days typing. We had 4 different base cities - Tokyo, Nozawa Onsen, Kyoto, and Osaka. And how was it that we traveled to those 4 different cities in 3 weeks without losing too much travel time - why we road the bullet trains of course! Upon arriving in Tokyo, I was in complete culture shock from Bali. Tokyo is a huge city and I was overwhelmed with the amount of choices. It didn't even smell like a city - so clean and orderly.
