Japan had long been a dream travel destination for me, particularly once I heard about the Nagano snow monkeys. I’ve always had a thing for monkeys and their strange human-like tendencies. As we hiked through the snow to the mountain onsens (natural volcanic hot springs) where they congregate, I couldn’t believe my eyes as hundred of them lay in a trace in the volcanic heated water of the springs. A moment i’ll never forget!

We started at the base of Hakuba Happo-One (750m above sea level) and catched a one way lift ride to the top of the slopes (about 1800m above sea level). From there we hiked up the spine, but because of wind and clouds we had to turn around near the top. This photo is taken right before we went back down. Mt. Karamatsu (2696m) is the peak to the right. We went back a week later, with perfect conditions, and managed to summit. The view from the peak is stunning in clear weather, and you’re able to see huge areas. There’s even possible to spot Mt. Fuji in the far distance.

I stumbled upon this bridge while trekking in Japanese Alps. I have no idea what the sign means but I really like how simple it is and how beautiful it fits to the bridge.

It was 9:30 in the morning. We were on the way to Mt. Fuji. After 150 miles we glimpsed the volcanic mountain for the 1st time. There was no way I was going to miss the opportunity to capture the first glimpse of this majestic mountain, so I took this photo from the bus.

Everytime when I’m going back to Mt. Fuji it feels like it’s the first time visiting. This time was special because my daughter is already 2 years old and she seems to understand more. When someone asks me what to visit around Tokyo, I always recommend Fuji-San. It’s easy to reach and impossible not to love.

After an eight hour hike overnight midst strong winds and rain, we managed to catch the first sunrise in Japan at the peak of Mount Fuji.

I took this picture outside of the Robot Restaurant in Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan. Had the privilege of going to Japan and experiencing this psychedelic show for myself back in May 2017.

Making our way back from an insane evening at the Robot Restaurant, possibly one of the wildest shows in the wildest city in the world, we found this calm outlook on the hustle and bustle ahead.

Tokyo is my all time favourite city to visit. As much as I’m biased towards my hometown London, Tokyo will always have a place in my heart. It’s truly a city that never sleeps and experience you cannot get elsewhere. This is a view from one of the observatories in the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, a free viewing floor that gives you unparalled views of the city.

Was walking a evening in Tokyo and saw this street filled with lights which reflected on the taxi’s. I stopped and made this photo quickly with my phone (s7 edge). Didn’t expect it would come out this great, especially considered it was taken with a phone at night

Wandering through the small back alleys of Sangenjaya, Tokyo, around midnight, after the last train has left and only the locals are still around drinking and enjoying lively conversations. This place is packed to the brim with tiny bars that only fit a few people, shoulder to shoulder. Each bar with it’s own vibe and new experience to enjoy.

Finally we made it to Tokyo. Of course we had to visit the Meiji shrine. The shrine is under construction, and it was drizzling, so the place wasn’t packed with tourists. I stood facing the gate, and waited for a moment that caught my eye. I hope that I captured a great moment, and conveyed the right mood.
