Kyoto: The City That Captured My Heart
After leaving Hiroshima, we hopped back onto the bullet train — now feeling like complete naturals at navigating Japan’s spotless, efficient transport system — and set off for Kyoto. I’d heard so much about this city before visiting, but nothing prepared me for just how special it truly is. If there was ever a place that felt like the beating heart of traditional Japan, Kyoto is it.

After five unforgettable nights in Tokyo, it was time for our next adventure — Hakone. Boarding our first train out of the city felt like the journey was truly beginning. I’ll never forget standing on the platform watching the train pull in and seeing the seats automatically rotate to face the new direction of travel — such a small but typically Japanese touch of efficiency! Tickets were already

The south is lush and mountainous
