Saving the best for last - Kinkakuji (or “Golden Pavilion”) was easily one of the most visually stunning buildings in Kyoto. The top two stories are completely covered in gold leaf making it almost shimmer in the light. ✨ . . . . . . . . . #kinkakuji #goldenpavilion #kyoto #kyotojapan #kyototravel #kyototrip #kyotogram #ig_japan #japantravelphoto #japantrip #visitjapan #photo_japan #goldentemple #reflection #reflectiongram #girlswhotravel #femalephotographer #iamatraveler #naturalsurroundings

Sometimes the best views are the unexpected ones. We were driving from one site to another in Kyoto when we came across this beautiful country landscape. While getting out of the car to take a photo, we ran across a Japanese family enjoying their Saturday with their kids playing with little turtles in a nearby pond. It’s not always the big tourist attractions, but little cultural moments like this that makes travel worthwhile. . . . . . #kyoto #kyotojapan #kyototravel #travelgram #traveljapan #girlswhotravel #jwvisuals #jw_photographers #jwphotographer #bamboo #kyototrip #naturephotography #nature_perfection #jw_snapshots #naturelover #natureloversgallery #flowers #kyotolandscape #japanlandscape #japaneselandscape #purpleflowers

Looking up at these bamboo giants is pretty impressive, but looking through these guys brings about a new appreciation for the details... . . . . . . . . #arashiyama #arashiyamabambooforest #bambooforest #bamboogrove #kyoto #kyotojapan #kyototravel #travelgram #traveljapan #girlswhotravel #jwvisuals #jw_photographers #jwphotographer #bamboo #kyototrip #naturephotography #nature_perfection #jw_snapshots #naturelover #natureloversgallery

Wandering around the Yasaka Shrine in Gion, one of the most well-known geisha districts in Kyoto... . . . . . #kyoto #kyotojapan #japan #japaneseculture #yasakashrine #girlswhotravel #girlswhoblog #jwphotographer #jw_photographers #ig_kyoto #kyotogram #japangram #traveljapan #gion #giondistrict #kimono #kimonostyle #travelkyoto

Peacefully walking the path of a thousand gates... . . Well... actually... not pictured: The mass of people behind me and the mass of people in front of me that had JUST turned the corner that allowed to take a quick shot in an instant. The Fushimi Inari Shrine is colorfully stunning, but unfortunately everyone else knows about it too which leads to big crowds. But sometimes patience (and the patience of those behind me) pays off, and I was able to get my bucket-list shot. Are there shots on your bucket list? . .

Meriken Park, a Kobe waterfront area which includes the Kobe Port Tower and the Kobe Maritime Museum (with its sail-shaped architecture). . . Fun fact: “Meriken Park” gets its name from the local pronunciation of “America” in the Meiji era, when this port was a treaty port for a lot of the goods and ideas that came from the West. . . . . . #merikenpark #kobeporttower #kobemaritimemuseum #kobe #kobejapan #portofkobe #kobeskyline #cityskyline #ig_japan #japangram #skylinejapan #traveljapan #kobetravel #girlswhotravel #jw_photographers #jwphotographer #jw_photography #jwvisuals

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.
