My friend @kdyrk56 suggested I visit a little isla My friend @kdyrk56 suggested I visit a little island just off Fukuoka called Nokonoshima 🏝️
🐾
It’s only a short 10 minute ferry ride from Fukuoka, but it feels like stepping into a storybook. There’s a garden bursting with flowers, curious bunnies hopping about, gentle goats, and an old village with wooden houses, a stone well, and a classic phone box (see the last pic for the G.O.A.T of goats 😂 🐐) 
🐾
Nokonoshima has been inhabited for centuries, once serving as a small farming and fishing community, and today it’s known for its flower fields that bloom through every season
🐾
My assistants rented bikes to explore and spent a peaceful day pedalling between gardens and sea views, soaking up the island’s calm charm. What a wonderful escape from the city don't you think?

Back in Japan for the third time and my travel dia Back in Japan for the third time and my travel diary’s ready for a fresh splash of ink! 🇯🇵
🐾
This time I’m trading big cities for hidden corners, the quieter prefectures where time moves gently and the tea’s always perfectly brewed. I’ll be wandering through Kyushu, Honshu, Shimane, and Tottori before heading to Okayama, then scooting up to Sendai to see family
🐾
First stop, Fukuoka. A day spent between Gokoku Shrine, the Fukuoka Castle ruins, and the calm beauty of Ohori Park’s Japanese Garden. The Large Pond Garden has a sea of fog event every 30 minutes, drifting across the water and turning the whole scene into a soft dream
🐾
A new chapter in the travel diary, one page at a time🐻🍵🌿

From China to Japan, and feeling larger than life! From China to Japan, and feeling larger than life!
🐾
They say I’m big in Japan, and I must admit, the snacks, the sights, and the sushi portions all seem perfectly sized for a hungry travelling bear
🐾
My 3rd time here in Japan, but, new adventures, and a whole lot of trains, temples, and tasty treats waiting to be discovered 🇯🇵🐻🍱

Shanghai’s “1000 Trees” although I only coun Shanghai’s “1000 Trees” although I only counted about 657 myself 🌳🐻
🐾 
Still, what a sight! A forest turned vertical, where art, coffee, and city views all tangle together. I wandered over to M5 Art Space nearby too. Modern, moody, and full of quiet surprises tucked between the walls
🐾 
On the way back there was a cat on the roof... but not everything makes sense here

Zhujiajiao Water Town, you’re straight out of a Zhujiajiao Water Town, you’re straight out of a postcard
🐾
A peaceful day wandering canals with Bao Bao. Stone bridges, narrow lanes, and the sound of boats gliding by. We stopped for candied oranges (sweet, sticky, and a little messy), then found a quiet spot by the water to watch the world drift past
🐾
Later we explored an old garden, full of carved pavilions and shady corners perfect for daydreaming. It felt like time slowed down just for us
🐾
A calm escape from the buzz of Shanghai, and a reminder that the best adventures are often the soft, quiet ones

Shanghai, you shine like a dream 🐾 From the glo Shanghai, you shine like a dream
🐾
From the glowing Pearl Tower to the bright chaos of Nanjing Road, this city comes alive when the sun goes down. Every building sparkles, every street hums
🐾
A stroll along the Bund felt like walking through two worlds at once, old colonial facades on one side, futuristic skyscrapers on the other, all reflected in the rippling Huangpu River
🐾
Shanghai, you’re electric, elegant, and utterly unforgettable

Chongqing, you’ve been a workout and a wonder
🐾
Every day here feels like leg day, hills on hills, staircases climbing forever, and views that make the climb worth it, especially when there's afternoon tea with BaoBao involved 🐻🐼🇨🇳🫖🍵
🐾
They don’t call it the City of Fog for nothing. With more than 100 foggy days a year, the thick air drapes itself over old streets, temples, and parks, turning them into something straight out of a storybook
🐾
It's a city of contrasts, of sweat and serenity, of chaos and calm. Farewell for now, Chongqing you’ve left me breathless in every sense
