at Fushimi-Inari
During my leisure time, I have the opportunity to visit popular locations in Kyoto, like Fushimi-Inari, which welcomes visitors with thousands of red orange torii gates and devoted to Inari Okami, the Shinto god of rice and prosperity. And Arashiyama, a representation of Japan’s natural beauty, is well-known for its bamboo grove, Togetsukyo Bridge, and snow monkeys. Exploring these sites was tiring but enjoyable, not just for their stunning scenery but also for the chance to learn the history and stories behind them which adds depth to the experience.

at Shinjuku Gyoen
Tokyo is known for its bustling attractions like Shibuya Crossing, where crowds move together like a wave, as well as Shinjuku and Akihabara, both filled with tall buildings and bright lights. These spots are exciting and popular with tourists and other locals.
But for someone like me who doesn’t enjoy crowded places, I found peace in Tokyo’s parks. These green spaces are calm and quiet, offering a refreshing escape from the busy city. This photo was taken in Shinjuku Gyoen, where we spent almost four hours leisurely strolling through the entire park. The parks are perfect for relaxing and admiring nature.
Even in a city as busy as Tokyo, it’s easy to find peaceful places to relax and recharge.”

On weekends, we had the chance to explore and immerse ourselves in the countryside of Japan, surrounded by its serene and stunning natural beauty. It’s always a wonderful reminder to slow down and cherish the little moments.”
