Osaka's food scene alone could justify a whole trip, we ate our way through Dotonbori for two straight nights.
Dotonbori at night was sensory overload in the best way, neon everywhere and incredible street food right on our couple's trip through Japan.
Kyoto leg felt rushed compared to the other two cities, we barely had half a day at Fushimi Inari before having to move on, wish the nights were split differently.
Kinkaku-ji reflecting perfectly in that still pond was the single most photogenic moment of our whole honeymoon.
Kinkaku-ji was stunning but so packed by late morning that getting a clear photo without twenty strangers in it took real patience. Go early or make your peace with the crowds.
Peace Memorial Park was a sobering morning and I am glad we did not skip it. It gave real weight to what was otherwise a celebratory week away with my husband.
