Love Japan too, great array of pics. And you're right the beef there is the best!!
Gorgeous photos Alex!! Japan has been on my to-do list forever and hopefully I'll get there one day. Till, then, I've loved traveling vicariously through your photos. I hope you had a super honeymoon! Ann x
Amazing pictures! Seems that you had a brilliant time there. 🙂
Thanks Ann, you must go -it is absolutely amazing and so much fun!
Hida beef, especially! Love it
It is honestly my favourite place in the world…
Thank you! Funnily enough, there was a place to rest your camera for remote control photos – it was set up in front of this sign, perfectly!
Thanks for sharing these great pictures! Japan is on my travel wish list and I hope we will be able to go there one day…Caterina
just brill pics!! so much colour and beauty
We so wanted to go on honeymoon to Japan! But thought we couldn't afford it. (And, when we would have been booking flights etc., I wasn't definitely allowed time off work, so it would have been madness).
This looks AMAZING.
Congratulations! Hope you are finding it as wonderful being married as we are.

Love your pictures of Japan, we have taken inspiration and are visiting for our honeymoon next year. We are visiting Osaka, Kyoto, Mount Koya and Kobe. Can't wait!!
I'm currently debating whether a July honeymoon to Japan is just going to be too hot and humid but had recollection that you'd gone in the summer, and am immensely reassured by this post. Love your blog by the way!
I'm not going to lie, it was so hot! But you just adjust after a while – I don't regret going in July….better than June as that's the rainiest season..x
When are you off? I can give recommendations if you want? We went to some fab restaurants in Kyoto x
Lovely post, beautiful destination. I will plan a trip to Japan soon, this article gave me a ton of excitement to visit this country once.
