Good Day Everyone,
I am sooo super excited right now because we are going to
Japan!!! Woohoo!!!
Ever since we moved to Singapore, Japan has been the one
country that my hubby and I have both wanted to visit. I have always wanted to
go either in spring to see the cherry blossoms or during autumn / fall to see
the leaves change colour. Japan has always looked like a naturally beautiful
country from whatever images / photos / videos I’ve seen and I love taking
photos capturing the colours of nature. I cannot wait to get snapping with my
camera :o).

My hubby has always wanted to go too and he did go towards the end
of last year for a business trip but obviously didn’t have much free time. He
is especially excited to go on the bullet train as he is a total engineering
geek ;o)
Last year, we didn’t go any big holidays primarily because
we had three trips back home to England which used up most of my hubby’s leave
from work and were pretty expensive. We did have an extremely last minute
weekend trip to Cambodia when the Singapore smog was at its peak just so that
we could breathe some cleaner air!
This year we wanted to take a more focussed approach with
our holidays and so over the Xmas break my hubby and I made a list of the
places that we would like to visit in Asia and we both had Japan on the top of
our lists. This is going to be our main holiday for 2014 and realistically this
may well be our only visit to Japan, as there are lots of other places in Asia
that we want to visit.

We are going for 11 days… which is a long time for my hubby
to take off work and my tasks for this week are to decide which two other cities
we want to visit besides Tokyo, to get our hotels booked as cherry blossom
season is very busy, and order our Japan rail passes. Then next week I can
start working on some kind of itinerary of the places we want to visit in each
city, how we get from one city to the next and booking any excursions / tickets
for events / places etc and learning some basic Japanese phrases because we go
in just a few weeks… but first I have to stop looking at all the amazing photos
on Google images of the cherry blossoms ;o)
Have you ever been to Japan? If so, where would you
recommend we go? What should we see? Where are you going for your 2014 holiday?

The picture sources you have shared are gorgeous, and I can see why you'd want to go see cherry blossom! I want to visit Japan too, or China, both look very cultural and exciting!
