📍Japan 🇯🇵

Fall in Japan 🐾 It feels gentle and joyful here, Fall in Japan
🐾 
It feels gentle and joyful here, like the world is slowing down just a little. I felt inspired to write a haiku just for you
🐾 
Ginko turns yellow
Temples breathe the autumn air
Japan slows to gold

Up the stairs and into the clouds 🐾 Today I visit Up the stairs and into the clouds
🐾 
Today I visited Yamadera, the famous mountain temple, and its heart Risshaku-ji. It’s a climb of more than 1000 steps and the autumn weather was absolutely perfect for it
🐾 
The higher you go, the quieter everything becomes until all you hear are leaves, bells, and your own little paws working hard. I even wore my best fall outfit for the occasion. Do you like it?
🐾
Exploring centuries of Buddhist history on a mountainside makes a bear feel very small in the very best way

I've arrived in Sendai and it feels like coming ho I've arrived in Sendai and it feels like coming home 🐻💛
🐾
I’m here to stay with my Japanese family, catch up with friends, and recharge a little. But of course, the moment I walk through the door, the minions are already getting into mischief. Honestly, I take my eyes off them for one second and chaos follows. Happy times indeed!

Relaxing at Sakunami Onsen 🍁🛁 🐾 There’s nothing qu Relaxing at Sakunami Onsen 🍁🛁
🐾
There’s nothing quite like sinking into a warm outdoor bath while the mountains shift from green to gold around you. Steam rising, leaves drifting, even the local monkeys seem to enjoy the peace and quiet
🐾
Maybe it’s the season, maybe it’s the silence, but Sakunami Onsen feels like a little pocket of peace tucked into the hills. A perfect place to rest my paws before more adventures

Discovering the Japanese countryside one pedal at Discovering the Japanese countryside one pedal at a time 🚲🌾🇯🇵
🐾
The Kibiji Bike Path winds through quiet villages, golden rice fields, and ancient shrines, the kind of ride where time slows down and every turn feels like a postcard
🐾
I stopped for peaches, peeked at pagodas, and even had a friendly chat with a scarecrow (lovely listener, that one). Sometimes the best journeys are the wobbly ones, especially when driven by the assistants 🤷‍♂️

Kurashiki, old canals and blue jeans 💙 🐾 Once a m Kurashiki,  old canals and blue jeans 💙
🐾
Once a merchant town lined with white-walled warehouses, Kurashiki still hums with quiet charm. Willow trees lean over the canals, boats glide by, and every corner feels like a scene from a painting
🐾
But it’s not all history, this town is also famous for its denim! From indigo workshops to stylish jeans shops, it’s the perfect mix of tradition and trend
🐾
And when the sun sets over the canal, the reflections turn everything gold. Pure magic

Kibitsu Shrine, where two roofs are better than on Kibitsu Shrine, where two roofs are better than one
🐾
Just 30 minutes outside Okayama is the only shrine in Japan built in the ancient Kibitsu-zukuri style, with a double-gabled roof that looks like two shrines joined together. Quite the architectural wonder!
🐾
The long wooden corridor is a dream to wander, pagodas, tiny shrines, neat little gardens, and a pond full of plump koi who were very interested in my snacks.

Taking the slow train is never a waste of time, it Taking the slow train is never a waste of time, it’s part of the adventure 🚂✨
🐾
Rolling along the San-In and San-Yo lines, through lesser-known towns and sleepy cities, I’ve found some of Japan’s most beautiful corners. The scenery alone is worth every extra minute
🐾
And between us, the 'slow' train isn’t even that slow, just cheaper, quieter, and a whole lot prettier. Sometimes, it’s nice to let the world pass by

Tottori, where the sand dunes meet the sea 🐾 I wa Tottori, where the sand dunes meet the sea 
🐾
I wandered the famous sand dunes, remembering my visit only this year to the ones in Namibia, climbing hills of golden sand, every step a little adventure, the view from the top makes it all worth while
🐾
Nearby, the Sand Museum celebrates the art of sand sculpting, this year's theme is Japan, with incredible creations that last longer than the next tide. I tried making my own tiny bear sandcastle, but let’s just say it was more abstract art than architecture 🏰
