Lots of people who are planning their trips to Japan are sweet enough to scroll through @thetokyochapter on instagram and lots of people ask about where I took certain photos.
I wanted to share my most asked about piccies and then a link to the post which the directions, reviews etc.
I am, by no means, a photographer – but I am realising more and more than many don’t know that they want to travel somewhere until they see the picture.
So here I go…
