I had the privilege of solo venturing through Japan in 2025 and it was the most beautiful experience of my life. Starting in the north in Niseko, Japan, I snowboarded down mountains while making international friends in a hostel and attending a music festival with them during the night at the base of the mountain. I then ventured forth to Kyoto, which became my favorite part of Japan. The traditional architecture and solemn atmosphere carried throughout the city. I also explored Ghibli Park, experiencing the wonders of the Ghibli world in person. Next was Osaka, AKA Japan's Kitchen, where I attended a food/beverage tour with my brother and sister-in-law. After Osaka, was Tokyo where I stayed for 3 days and enjoyed every minute it had to offer. Lastly, I stayed one night with the kindest Japanese family near Mt.Fuji. After getting to witness as much of Japan as I could in 2 weeks, I still have the wanderlust urge to go back and do it all again. Take a look below for the highlights of my trip.
