2 weeks in Japan

Highlights from 2 weeks in Japan with Julia.

We started the trip with a 24 hour layover in Beijing, where we explored the city, jet legged and in a daze we roamed the streets at 4am, until we found a dumpling shop, crushed the best dumplings i’ve ever had, walked around in the morning, grabbed coffee and headed back to the airport to continue our trip to Japan. We started off in Tokyo, and with a rail pass, made our way to Osaka, Kyoto, Nagasaki, and rented a car to the south for Yakushima Island, my only regret was not staying longer.
