Last month I went on an adventure leaving Tokyo for far off places in Japan. I left Tokyo with very little planning and just took each day as it came. My days were filled with beautiful nature, delicious local foods, quaint hostels, seaside onsen and so much more! Without a phone or a watch I passed each day without any sense of time and just enjoyed waking up and being in a different place. This is my last summer in Japan and it will surely be a memorable one! August 1, 2011.
