Tokyo, Kyoto & Osaka 🇯🇵✨
Twenty photos could never sum up this trip. Twenty pictures could never capture the smell of street food in Kyoto, the hospitality we found inside tiny sushi shops in Tokyo, the karaoke echoing through Osaka’s streets.
Japan was beautiful, but what made it unforgettable was sharing it with . It was his first trip out of the country like this and honestly, what a ride 😂
We averaged 20k+ steps a day for two weeks straight, so safe to say we won’t be hitting leg day at the gym anytime soon. But I wouldn’t trade a single step.
Traveling always gives new perspectives, new foods, new people, new little reminders that the world is big and full of beauty. But it also always reminds me how much I love home. My routine, my animals, my people.
Japan, you’ll always hold a piece of my heart; however, I’m ready to be back in my bed, with Leo & Purrly curled up next to us and life feeling like itself again. Because when you share it all with the right person, even the ordinary day-to-day feels like magic 🧡
And to everyone who follows Melrose, my personal, and Ry’s account and had to see these pics a thousand times.. you’re the real MVP 😂🧡
