2-week Japan itinerary

Japan was always on the top of our list of our "one day we'll visit", but it's so far and so expensive... And then planning our summer holidays at the beginning of this year and randomly checking prices of flights to Tokyo we said - why not now?

FOOD, TRAVEL

I don't think anybody is surprised anymore that food was one one of, if not the main focus during our trip to Japan. We wanted to try everything and definitely did not cut back on our dining budget. It doesn't mean we dined fancy - not at all most of the time, but we surely got the munching on.

Kyoto surprised us with how overloaded with tourists it was. Smaller than Tokyo, it seemed like there were more Americans than actual Japanese inhabiting the city. Hopefully, due to the amazing Airbnb we rented, we got a free access to a couple of city bikes and let me tell you: it was the most fun way to discover the city and escape the crowds at least a little.
