No matter what country I’m in, I’ll always take time to stop and admire the flowers. 🌺 . . These purple cuties were on the side on Mount Rokkō above the city of Kobe. . . . . . #kobe #kansai #kansai_trip #shinkoberopeway #nunobikiherbgarden #kobejapan #japan #ig_japan #instagramjapanphoto #girlswhotravel #girlswhoblog #jwvisuals #jwphotographer #jw_photographers #nikonphotography #japanesegarden #flowers #japaneseflowers

Of all the places I visited in Japan, Kobe was the one city that I could see myself living in. (If it wasn’t for the heat. Or the humidity. 🥵) With lush green mountains at its back and a distinct port at its front, Kobe is definitely beautifully-situated and the people are awesome. Find out more about the Kansai region of Japan on my latest blog post (link in bio)... . . . . . . #kobe #kansai #kansai_trip #shinkoberopeway #nunobikiherbgarden #hammocklife #kobejapan #japan #ig_japan #instagramjapanphoto #girlswhotravel #girlswhoblog #jwvisuals #jwphotographer #jw_photographers #nikonphotography #japanesegarden #ropeway #ropeway🚠

As fun as Tokyo was, I was ready to see something beautiful and different. Enter Himeji Castle. Also known as the “White Heron Castle” because it looks like a white bird taking flight, this beautiful castle was the first site in Japan to be named a UNESCO World Heritage site. 🏯 For more details about this castle and its namesake town, check out my latest blog post (link in bio)... . . . . . . . . #himejicastle #himeji #whiteheroncastle #whitecastle #himejijo #visitjapan #japan_focus #instagramjapan #ig_japangram #japanesecastle #girlswhotravel #girlswhoblog #nikonphotography #jwphotographer #jw_photographers #jwvisuals

It’s not the Eiffel Tower, but it’s still pretty cool. Check out how this icon of the Tokyo skyline compares with its Parisian counterpart on my latest blog post (link in bio)... . . . . . #tokyotravel #tokyotokyo #visitjapan #tokyophotography #tokyojapan #japan_focus #tokyotower #東京 #instagramjapan #towerstagram #discovertokyo #cityscape #tokyotower🗼 #tokyotowernight #tokyotowerview #seasidetop #worldtradecentertokyo #tokyoskyline #girlswhotravel #girlswhoblog #nikonphotography

With lots of people all around, the best thing you can do is look up... We explored the Sensoji Temple area on our last day in Tokyo. We’re so happy we did - the colorful, intricately designed buildings stood out in bright contrast to the gray, modern buildings that tend to dominate the Tokyo skyline. . . . . . #instatravel #japan #traveltheworld #pagoda #japangram #japanfocus #japan_of_insta #日本 #東京 #asakusatokyo #asakusa #浅草 #浅草寺 #japantravel #asakusatemple #sensoji #sensojitemple #girlswhotravel

A bit of the past and present coexisting in Tokyo: Zozoji Temple with the Tokyo Tower 🗼 in the background. (Would it be embarrassing to say that one of the reasons I went was to use this emoji?🗼💁🏻‍♀️) . . . . . #tokyotravel #japanesetemple #tokyotokyo #visitjapan #tokyophotography #tokyojapan #buddhisttemple #japan_focus #zojoji #temple #tokyotower #増上寺 #東京 #girlswhotravel #nikonphotography #ig_japan #tokyotemple #instagramjapan #zojojitemple

Living in France, I’m used to taking photos of nature, or buildings with centuries of history. Tokyo, though, is a whole other story. Tokyo embraces what’s modern, hip and up-to-date. Case in point, our visit to @teamlab_borderless . It was my first time being in a museum where I didn’t just observe art, I became a part of it. Lights and shapes were always moving, always changing. This was my favorite room, The Forest of Resonating Lamps - the name both a bit poetic and long-winded. But the room itself did not disappoint. For more photos on our digital art experience, check out my latest blog post (link in bio)... Thanks for the recommendation @hannahcopcutt ! . . . . . #digitalartmuseumtokyo #japantrip #interactiveart #日本 #borderless #tokyojapan #tokyo #digitalart #travelphotography #travelgram #teamlab #teamlabborderless #teamlabtokyo #girlswhotravel #girlswhoblog #ig_japan #japangram #ig_tokyo #tokyogram #jwphotographer #jw_photographers

The one thing I never had living in California - the changing fall colors 🍂. They can bring color and life to even a dreary little town... . . . . . #autumnleaves #autumncolors #fallcolors #autumn #colors #naturelovers #fall #leaves🍁 #fallingleaves #leavestagram #colorfulleaves #france_focus_on #francegram #ig_france #falloutfit #oise #creil #jw_photographers #jwfrance #jwvisuals #picardie #igerspicardie #belleoise
