Japan photo dump. I’m still getting over the jet lag and culture shock of being so immersed somewhere and then suddenly trying to jump bank into the cadence of the US.
It was cold in Hokkaido but the snow was epic just like they say “Japow”, and I feel so fortunate to be able to ski 4 days in a row at 50yo. The scenery was calm and the onsen or hot springs were so therapeutic. Tokyo was overwhelming, even for someone who lived in NYC. So many people, and so much packaged food, but still so clean and everyone was so polite. I will definitely want to visit again and recommend 10/10.
