Christmas and New Years in Japan

​So this post will be a little different than my usual travel blogs. I know--I give you guys the low-down on some facts and the itinerary I'd taken. Be all sentimental goo-ga.


But I've been sitting on these photos for over two months now, and know I need them out of my hair. So, here's a little look at my Japan trip!

New Years in Japan is quite unlike New Years in the States. It's a time for family and prayer, so you'll find a lot of the usual tourist attractions closed. My brother and I spent the holidays across Hokkaido all the way down to Kyoto.  While Sapporo had been a bit quiet on NYE, we found champagne and laughs making friends and music videos.

Hokkaido snowy scenes greeted us for snow-shoeing adventures through forests and a new year with new friends in warm hostels!
Give me all the nighttime colors, Sapporo.

Exploring the food and culture Osaka has to offer, from takoyaki to castles.

I'd be lying if I said this wasn't my favorite photo I've taken. It reminds me of a video game...and sort of represents all my habitual side-alley wanderings.
