Highlights from my little side trip to Uji, Kyoto

Highlights from my little side trip to Uji, Kyoto 🍵✨ Uji is primarily known for its premium high quality matcha. However, I also enjoyed the little specialty shops and food stops we made along the way. I was also impressed with the Byodoin Temple museum (which has exhibits in multiple languages 👍🏼.)

We spent about half a day exploring Uji before heading back to central Kyoto.

You can see more from my trip to Kyoto in a new video on my YouTube channel. Available soon 😊

Add this to your spring Tokyo travel itinerary! 😍 The Nezu Shrine Azalea Garden Festival is held every spring when the azalea garden is in bloom. Peak bloom period to visit is typically in April.

The garden has remained largely unchanged since Edo-Period Japan, a time that was considered the golden age of Japanese horticultural art.

Learn about the garden in this video and check out my “Nezu Shrine” video available on my YouTube channel (@remishimazu) for even more information!

Watch my new video by visiting my 🔝LINK IN BIO or search for “Remi Shimazu” on YouTube.

A little update on what I’ve been up to (and wha

A little update on what I’ve been up to (and what’s to come on my channel!). ✨ ⤵️

For the past few weeks, I’ve tried hard to focus on being present during my time in Japan.

My Japan itinerary included lots of travel and meetings, and soon enough, I found myself behind on posting regularly.

I stressed myself out thinking about how “behind” I was and felt like I wasn’t showing up enough for you.

However, I’m grateful to have the “problem” of having this many photos and videos to sort through.

And I’m excited to review them all and share more stories from my travels in Japan.

This upcoming round of Japan videos and articles will be filled with more Japan travel tips and things to add to your itinerary.

They’ll also dive deeper into Japanese culture and traditional crafts.

I’m very grateful for this journey, and for all the support I’ve received along the way from people like you.

Thank you for being here!

With love,

Remi
