What a better way to start the first week of 2016 than determine clear goals and aspirations for the year ahead? While not everything I’ll list below is set in stone or is even remotely realistic, dreaming a little never hurt anybody, right? So here is my 2016 “vision board”…
Since Mr. B and I have recently moved to Japan, we resolved to focus on in-country travel and spend 2016 exploring different parts of this magnificent country. Throughout the year we plan to admire cherry blossom in Tokyo’s gorgeous gardens…
Climb Fuji-san in summer to enjoy spectacular sunrise…
Venture out to Kyoto to walk in the footsteps of history along the narrow alleyways, as well as fully embrace Japanese traditions by staying at ryokan (traditional Japanese inn that originated in the Edo period featuring tatami-matted rooms and onsen, a hot spring baths) and indulging in a traditional multi-course Japanese kaiseki dinner…
We also want to visit the iconic Osaka Castle in Osaka as well as have some fun at the Universal Studios to see how Japanese do it ;) 
Visits to Hiroshima as well as southernmost island of Okinawa in pursuit of unique historical and cultural experiences is also on our wanderlust bucket list.
Beautiful pictures, great post, I am going to reblog this one for you ma’am.
