Japan is a country that stays with you long after you’ve left. During our journey in 2024, we spent 90 days here, from intense weeks in Tokyo to quieter days among the temples of Kyoto and the nightlife of Osaka.
It’s a country where contrasts meet everywhere – futuristic skyscrapers and glowing neon lights just minutes away from peaceful parks, ancient wooden temples and narrow streets where time seems to move a little slower.
Over the course of three months, we had the chance to truly settle into everyday life, not just experience Japan as visitors, but begin to understand the rhythm of the country – the precision of the trains, the quiet respect in public spaces, and the care that goes into every little detail.
These are our stories from Japan.
