Being able to witness the stunning Sakura season i Being able to witness the stunning Sakura season in Tokyo was a such a dream🌸 
I made it my personal mission to visit as many spots around the city as possible that claimed to have cherry blossoms, but my absolute favorites are the ones in these photos 💕 
1,2&3) Chidorigafuchi Park behind the Imperial Palace 
4&5) The famous Nakameguro River Walk 🌸 
6,7,8,9&10) Shinjuku Gyeon National Park. Even though this one has an entrance fee it was my favorite one due to the space of the park, and the amount of trees spread throughout. If you go deeper into the park you can even find some lonely trees with no one sitting under them, as well as some of the biggest and oldest Sakura trees I have ever seen.

Beginning of March in Tokyo meant we were on full Beginning of March in Tokyo meant we were on full cherry blossom hunting mode 🌸 
1) Shiba Park for the view of a lonely sakura tree with the Tokyo Tower behind 🗼 
2&3) Imperial Palace, the gardens have some cherry blossoms but there are better spots in the city 
4) A quieter less busy location of the famous Ginza Kagari in the basement of Roppongi Hills 
5&6) Fueling at @shiten_coffee before looking for more Sakura 🌸

10) Some of my favorite cocktails at Trench Bar in Ebisu

Best coffee shops in Osaka ☕️ First stop 📍 Best coffee shops in Osaka ☕️ 
First stop 📍 @lilocoffee a tiny coffee shop with a wide selection of beans to choose from, a cozy space and lots of cute merch. There is also wifi, but the place feels too small to spend too much time there on a laptop. It’s more the kind of place where you really go for a good coffee and then keep going with your day. #coffeeshopsoftheworld #coffeeshops #japancoffee #osakajapan #osakacafe #osakacoffee
