Aoyama Cemetery ♡

This place was so beautiful it made me cry, maybe it was the sheer amount of flowers, how quiet it was and the fact it was such a calming peaceful place, every grave was so well looked after and had lovely flowers placed around it, and the sakura was fully bloomed and beginning to fall slightly with the wind. This area of Tokyo between Aoyama and Roppongi is not somewhere I`d been to before, its  full of offices and large expensive buildings and shops, but this little haven between lovely Aoyama and some of Tokyos big art galleries felt like miles away from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo, I can't wait for the photos from my little film camera to come out! ahh!

& my first trip to try yummy cold pressed juice in Tokyo! yum!

Lots of love! x x x

Sakura dreams 桜の花 ♡

My absolute favourite time of year in Japan these past few weeks have been a super beautiful sea of pink once more, we managed a few hanami`s and a wonder a few weeks back in one of my favourite spots to see Sakura - Shinjuku Goen, there are so many types of sakura here and each is so magical looking, anyway here`s a few of my favourite snaps, Hope your all having lovely spring`s! Lots of love x x x x ♡

Kamakura ♡ 鎌倉

On Monday we visited the beautiful seaside place Kamakura with our friends Owain & Yuko and their adorable daughter Maira, about an hour from central Tokyo. It felt like a completely different world, there are trees and small mountains surrounding the town and it stretches out to the seaside. There were so many beautiful temples and old buildings and cute little shops, we enjoyed a big wander around and went and got our fortunes done at one of the big temples, which felt so spiritual! We also went to a ridiculously cute restaurant which had about 3 tables and was run by these two little elderly ladies and the majority of which was vegan - very exciting! I had a mixed plate of all sorts of goodies! Here's a few photos from our adventurings ♡

Shinjuku Koen 桜 ♡

So prepare for more blossom spam!! On Tuesday I ventured to the Shinjuku -Koen gardens (and promptly was overwhelmed by an insane amount of blossom - I took over a 100 photos and wandered around for over an hour) It was breathtakingly beautiful, and surprisingly quiet and peaceful for being in such a central part of Tokyo. There were so many types of blossom and pastel colours, stretching right out as far as you could see, here are some of my favourite bits! Happy Spring ♡

 

Lots of Love x x x x

中目黒 Nakameguro さくら ♡

♡ 桜愛した増す ♡

Possibly the most beautiful place I have ever been - Nakameguro in full blown Sakura season, it was like a complete sea of the most beautiful pink flowers, the whole riverside was bustling with stalls and people enjoying 花見 (Sakura picnic) There was such a magical vibe, heres a bit of sakura spam for you ♡

Delicious Sakura Snack (Rice & Azuki Bean syrup) mmmm!

A few snaps of other parts of Nakameguro, the entire area is so unbelievably photogenic, I could've spent hours just wandering! ♡

The other night we went to Nakameguro by night for Sakura viewing as well, all the branches were lit up giving the whole sky and flowers an ever pinker glow ♡ too beautiful  - Here's a few snaps albeit a bit blurry from a rather Hanami filled day! (drinking under the blossom!)! 

Me & my lovely friend Yuko ♡

 Definitely the prettiest season I've ever seen, love you Tokyo! ♡ x x x x
