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

Cherry Blossom World Part 1 : Yoyogi, Shibuya, Daikanyama & Nakameguro ♡

Any of you who in any way follow me on instagram (much more frequent than here), will know there are few things (apart from deer and shiny glittery kawaii things of course) that I love more than Sakura, Japan in Sakura season really is something else, and never fails to lift my spirits and make me feel all kinds of magic, this year it was particularly needed after I lost my job and Tokyo can be such an overwhelming crazy harsh place at times. However when the flowers are blooming and everyone gets together for `hanami` flower picnics, and the rivers are lit up with blooms in some of my favourite neighbourhoods, its as if for a few short weeks communities and kind nature are drawn out from every corner, every park or public space is full of people happy to mingle and enjoy the sight of these magical pink flowers, its definitely one of the things I`d miss the most if I move. My flowery few weeks will need a few posts, but heres the first 

Instants of the first hanami with some friends & fun in yoyogi park, yoyogi is probably one of the busiest hanami spots but always super fun,

It was kind of overcast and going dark but you get the sense of the blossoms, and drinking sake from my lunch jar as I didn't have a glass haha,

Full blooms over Shibuya...

In one of my absolute favourite places Nakameguro, the blossoms line the river and are just incredible, particularly at night when they are all a lit up with a rosey pink glow..

& my new favourite toy, little film camera `sakura cam`, its been ages since I did any 35mm film so can`t wait to see the results!

Hope your all having lovely weeks! Lots of love! x x x x

お花見 Cherry Blossom in Yoyogi Koen / 代々木公園の桜 ♡

Spring really is such an incredible season here in Tokyo, spring has well and truly sprung and there are sooooo many flowers and blossoms blooming everywhere! - it's like a sea of white and pink (you can imagine my excitement!!).

On Monday we ventured to Yoyogi Park on our day off together for Hanami (お花見) (cherry blossom viewing and drinking) in the sunshine! It was such a beautiful day and the sky was super blue! - The blossom's looked so beautiful in their full bloom as well, Here's a few photos ♡

Lots of Love! x x x x

Kichijoji Blossom Wanderings ♡

So on Monday we headed to Kichijoji's beautiful Inokashira Park to visit the Ghibli Museum (more about that later), and had our first Sakura spotting!! - The tree's are beyond beautiful, there were about 3 or 4 in full bloom - can't wait until they're all out! It was a sea of dreamy pinkness (you can imagine my excitement!) Here a few snaps from our wanderings ♡

Delicious Sakura Tea!
