A trip back to deer heaven - Nara park 鹿の天国♡

So as to be expected from a super deer lover, no trip to Kyoto is complete without a Nara visit, and this time was extra special for some of the cuties and moments we encountered, Nara is definitely one of my favourite places ever and just being able to be so close to so many of these beautiful creatures is so incredible - so lots of deer spam in this post!!!

Shika rice crackers you can buy and feed the deer with ♡

Matcha kakigori on a bench surrounded by deer!

One of the most magic moments of our trip hands down was the surreal moment when we noticed a deer about to give birth, and then watched the whole thing and him try and take his first steps, I felt so connected to nature (I`m sure its obvious how much I love deer - could barely cope!!)

Such a cute little vegan cafe in Nara, where the kind lady talked us through every ingredient in every dish (in english!) It was again definitely worth another of our trecks to find! Finally I got to try vegan soy okinomiyaki!!! & all sorts of crazy vegetables for the first time!

Lots of love  x x x x

Hiroshima Deer heaven in Miyajima forest ♡ 宮島天国 - 鹿や山に逃げます

In Golden Week we took our first trip together since living in Japan to the other side of the island and the magical Hiroshima, it was completely the opposite of Tokyo and everything I dream`t of and more, it was so calm and beautiful and felt amazing to be completely in nature. Hiroshima itself has a super peaceful vibe, and considering everything thats happened there I found the people and the city itself to have some really interesting creative areas and cafes (more about that later), we enjoyed exploring and wondering around the tiny side streets and crossing the rivers (its a place divided by so much water and is right on the coast - our hotel overlooked the ocean from almost every angle and islands stretched deep into the sunset, the most beautiful of these islands was Miyajima, world heritage and famous for its beautiful red shrine and huge forest that engulfs the island. We spent my favourite day exploring the island, climbing Mount Misen - a big peak on the island surrounded by forest and deer clambering everywhere (as you can imagine I couldn`t cope!) Heres some of my favourite memories from the day (my cameras once again jam packed full of deer again ahhhhhh!!!)♡

Hope everyones enjoying spring and the sunshine wherever you are! More of Hiroshima to be posted soon ♡ Lots of love! x x x x x
