Tokyo, Japan
How to define Tokyo? This city has so many different and completely opposite faces! I wanted to travel there since I saw the movie Lost In Translation and eventually made that dream come true in 2018. From the bright lights of Shinjuku and Shibuya to the quiet streets of Yanaka, from Ueno Park to the temple of Zozo-ji, I really loved the few days I spent in the capital of Japan!
