Visiting Japan: the Nakasendo Trail and Takayama

7/10/2015

It has been nearly a year since E. and I were flying over to Japan for our honeymoon. It was October and the perfect timing to see the trees becoming yellow, orange and red with Autumn falling upon this beautiful country.
I have already talked about our time in Tokyo, Kyoto and Nara a good while back. Now, let me tell you about our little excursions in the amazing Japanese countryside.

Back in December, I gave you my Tokyo highlights of a trip to Japan in October. After a few days in the Japanese Alps (I will get back to this in a next post), we headed to Kyoto for a few days and included a day trip to Nara (capital of Japan in the 8th century). Here are my highlights:

Japan Travel Guide - Eating Ramen in Tokyo

Konnichiwa!

I have left this little blog a bit lonely for the past two months, showing the same image of a delicious yet now old blackberry and almond Chantilly roulade.
In the meantime, a lot happened. Lots of it involved work, but also a really amazing trip to Japan last October.
This trip nearly happened in July as it was our honeymoon but after a bit of pondering and realising that visiting a country when it is at his hottest weather would not be wise (think huge heat wave and typhoons), we chose to go there in October. And actually, it was a really good decision! The weather was great, nice and warm but not so hot that it would have made it unbearable to walk around (we had a lot of walking planned in the mountains and cities). Plus, we got to see the first notes of some amazing Autumn colours all over the country.
There is a lot to say about Japan!
