Hey besties I’m back… 💐

Where did I go? Sorry about that little disappearing act I just pulled. A burnt out me decided suddenly she wanted a soft girl summer and as the weeks went on it became apparently that soft also meant social-free.

I think after going so hard on social media for 2 years to get this page off the ground, it began to feel like such a colossal task to even edit something, and I started to feel very drained by algorithm, engagement, views chat. I’ve been refilling my cup in a few other ways over the past few months: reading, resting, raving, and even roller-skating 🛼

I hope you enjoy this little highlight real of some small wins and big memories from summer ‘25 🌞 

By the way I filmed it all so if you’d like to see more content on any of these highlights say the word x 2025-10-13 23:05:12 Hey be.. 0 -100% 21 -49%
Geordies if you’ve had enough of bucket hats and Wonderwall, you’ll love this 👇

I know half of the British population will think I’m insane but when it comes to the Oasis reunion tour I am very much in the meh camp. 

If you’re not on the Oasis train like me, you need to try one of these Oasis-Free events by Flaming Grill flaming_grill 

The next one is at the Duke of Wellington in Kenton TODAY 🍻

Rules are simple: No sideburns over 6cm. No maracas. No mention of Liam. Just peace, pints, and conversations that don’t involve Wonderwall. (The dream)

Their next event is today, Saturday 28th June and is just too funny to miss😆

I swear my biggest flex is that I live in Tokyo for a year before social media and lockdown made it the coolest place to be rn 

I took this video on Day 4 of my solo trip when I decided to take a walk down memory lane and visit all my old favourite shops. I knew that Japan was suffering with over tourism and that the crowds were getting out of hand since covid travel restrictions lifted, but it still really shocked me to my core to see just how busy it was. 

It made me feel incredibly lucky to have experienced places like Harajuku and Shibuya 8 years ago when they were still bustling but nowhere near as crowded and uncomfortable. 

Although I am glad that my favourite country in the world is getting all the love and attention that it deserves (it’s an incredible place to visit, so truly unique) it’s also kind of bittersweet when you feel the way the vibe of some of your favourite places has shifted because of tourism. 

I guess it’s just one of those things. The upside of this is meant that I spent a lot less time in the tourist hotspots like Shibuya, Shinjuku, and Harajuku, and really developed a love for lesser known underrated neighbourhoods that drew smaller crowds like Ebisu and Daikanyama (so vibey) and I even developed a soft spot for the bars of Ginza which I never would have dreamt of 8 years ago.

Let me know if you’d like a lil video guide on my favourite spots in Tokyo to avoid the crowds

Free to do and saves you £££ is my criteria for a genuinely good travel tip and guess what - we found another! 

So if you are about to/thinking about booking a holiday please stop and read this first ‼️

I’m sure it can’t just be me that feels like holidays, especially during summer, have suddenly become insanely expensive? Like why does it feel like I have to take out a mortgage just to go away between June and September 😭

But fear not because I’ve just discovered travelsupermarket a website that lets you see which provider you can get the best deal on. I found this gorgeous all-inclusive trip to Bodrum for less than £500 when it was almost £700 on EasyJet (and you guys know how underrated I think Turkey is as a summer holiday destination 😍)

It’s totally free to use and takes a couple of seconds, but could potentially save you a lot of £s just by showing you where the best deal is (same dates, same hotel and everything!)

Definitely worth checking before you book ✈️💸 #TravelSupermarket #holidaycomparison

UNFILTERED: The Viral Carbonara Udon

Well friends this is episode 2 of Solo in Japan Unfiltered where I’ll be lifting the lid (or filter lol) on some of Japan’s most viral spots and what they’re reaaaally like, and this was an exciting one.

I’ve had a looot of carbonara in my time, but never carbonara udon so when I found myself next to Menchirashi at 4pm I thought I could beat a bit of the dinner time rush and get to try their famous dish 🍜 

Watch until the end for my unfiltered opinion and tell me, would you queue for an hour or more to try these noodles? 👀

Save my Solo in Japan Day 3 Recs 👇

We’re back on the Japan vlogs bbyyyyy (apologies for the delay I am susceptible to social media burnout 🌚)

Day 3 was an absolute rollercoaster, you can check out the full length vlog on the other app but I do wanna do a mini dive here in the caption into some of the highlights from this day…

⛩️ Meiji Jingu - This is a really popular shrine right next to some of Tokyo’s busiest spots (Harajuke, Omotesando etc.) I would recommend going here really early so that you beat the crowds, it’s a lovely calming way to start the day before entering all the chaos 

🪩 teamlab_borderless - I chose Borderless over planets because I didn’t want to walk through the water and I didn’t regret it. It was stunning, my only regret was not having more time here, it’s huge!

🛍️ tokyocity_fleamarket - Obsessed, I went 3 times. Check out my other videos for details. Please note it will not be on if it is raining!

🇯🇲 one_love_jamaican_kitchen  has 5 stars on Google for a reason!!! This was one of the best dishes I had throughout the entire trip and we even chatted with the chef who was lovely. I would recommend the mixed jerk chicken and pork, the festivals also stole my heart but seriously everything here was elite. 10000/10

🎇 Atami’s Firework Festival - I was so lucky that this festival happened to be on during the dates I was in Tokyo. It happens around 10 times a year so check online to see if you can catch it. Atami is not in Tokyo so you do have to catch a train (1.5 hour local train or around 40 minutes on the bullet train) but it’s a free event at the beach and surprisingly there wasn’t many tourists there, everyone seemed to be local. It was a really treat to finally get to see a Japanese Hanami (firework festival)

POV you just Japlanned the best 3 week itinerary for a solo adventure round Japan 🇯🇵 

Honestly was so stressful doing the logistical planing for this trip but I’m absolutely thrilled with everything I have done and seen - even making it to some pretty remote locations all by myself. It’s been such a dream 🥰

Dropping some Japlannjng tips below for anyone who is struggling 👇
🔴 Do not book your Shinkansen tickets online despite everyone telling you to book in advance on Klook, they are basically the same price in person, every single train I took I just turned up at the station on the day and asked for a ticket to the next train. This afforded me so much flexibility in my trip and the prices really aren’t too different to booking in advance - plus they are so frequent, I always got a seat, always had space for my luggage, and never had any issues despite not having a single advance train reservation. It’s not like the UK you can literally just turn up and tell them where you want to go and the price will be fair :)
🔴 Don’t try and stay in the most central areas like Shinjuku or Shibuya - they are more expensive and so crowded. Try and stay somewhere a couple of stops away like Akasaka, that way you get to stay somewhere more relaxing at a fairer price, and discover a new area alongside visiting all the central points. I stayed really central in Shinsaibashi in Osaka but wished I was further away from the crowds to be honest 
🔴 Consider booking a car for more remote places like Fuji area, or Okinawa islands. Japanese drivers are very patient so it’s really not that scary - take it from me I am such an anxious driver but I loved the convenience of having a car and we saved a fortune because we didn’t have to pay for a taxi the one hour drive to our hotel in Okinawa. It also gives you the freedom to easily experience different areas - couldn’t recommend enough! We used booking.com to book!

Tokyo Diaries Day 2 ✌🏽 (tagged places at the bottom)

After two night staying in a more central hotel, I relocated to a more residential area in Shinagawa to stay at my friends apartment (it really pays to have friends in Japan I can’t lie 🤣)

After moving we headed to Tokyo Flea Market and had the best time - some absolute gems to be found there so many sure you check out my other videos on that.

And then we actually crossed prefecture lines to go and meet our friends (and their gorgeous baby) from uni/year abroad in Yokohama. I feel like a lot of people don’t make it out to Yokohama but it’s a great place to visit with lots to do if you feel like getting away from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo.

This was definitely more a of wholesome and relaxed day - I kept the entire afternoon and evening free to just enjoy being with my friends. But Angie and I managed to squeeze in a trip to our favourite sushi spot at the end of the day which was SO good and SO cheap!! 

Ended the day having win in this really beautiful part of Ginza which is not somewhere I would usually want to go out drinking - but this bar was one of my favourites throughout the entire trip and the Umeshu here was unmatched 💯 

Places I mentioned:
beans_station the best coffee I had all trip
akindosushiroco our fave conveyor belt sushi
ateniyoru__hibiya boujee wine bar with amazing umeshu

Just gonna be so real for a second here

There was a lot of times over the past year where I seriously considered quitting content, I took a lot of big gaps from posting and creating and it was really tough to ‘come back’ from them. I would find myself saying to myself you could just never go back… and toying with the idea of hanging up my tripod for good.

The algorithm change and low views etc had really knocked me - I didn’t know what the point in spending hours making content was when “no one was even gonna see it”

But that is actually the craziest thing about making content - you literally never know who is watching and what opportunities are going to come your way off the back of it. 

If I had hung up my creator boots a year ago, I never would have made the silly ‘cringey’ little TikTok that won me this once in a lifetime trip to Japan where I’ve made so many beautiful core memories. And what is actually even wilder to me is that this entire opportunity came around at a time when views and engagement were on the floor for me 🤣

Content creation is not for the weak, it’s not easy to juggle it with a career, trying to improve health and fitness m, and have healthy relationships, and just overall live a good life without 20 hours of screen time a day.

It’s also not easy to keep putting yourself out there when you feel like nothing is happening and nothing is going your way. I just wanted to remind you that views, and likes, and saves aren’t the only metrics of “growth”if you keep showing up, and embracing your cringe, posting your videos and being yourself online, you will grow in so many other ways than ‘engagement.’ It can genuinely open doors you might not have even dreamed of walking through 🫶

You didn’t think Tokyo drift wasn’t real?!🏎️🏁

Not sure about you guys but whenever I watch people’s Japan trip vlogs it feels like everyone is doing the exact same viral activities, and has pretty much the same itinerary. Sometimes if you’ve planned a lot of your trip through social media you can end up in long queues, and overcrowded and underwhelming places. 

But Japan literally has so much to offer, so to help spice up your itinerary, I’ve decided to do a mini little side series on all my Japan content called: Try this Not that in Japan 🇯🇵 

I’ll be showing you non-viral, more unique alternatives to all the social media famous spots filling up your explore page. 

Credentials check: I’m Nikki, not only have I just been on an epic solo trip around Japan, I also lived in Tokyo for one year so I know some spots.

We’re starting off with the mega-viral Mario Kart go-karts — seriously every video of this seems to get millions of views and everyone wants to do it - me included! 
I’m definitely not bashing it because it looks so fun, but when I looked into it also has a few cons: it is pricey, you need an international driving license (more money and effort) and I’ve also heard some people felt disappointed after hitting lots of traffic. 

IF you wanted to try a more unique experience try this..
The real-life Tokyo drift experience lets you ride out to Daikoku car meet — no 1 spot forbTokyo’s legendary car scene. And guess what - taxis wont take you here so don’t expect big crowds of tourists!

After the car meet comes the best bit… drift through Tokyo in a full-speed convoy, music blasting, and stopping in Shibuya for photos 🤌

It’s around the same price, (I booked on getyourguide), no license needed, less touristy, and v cool.

If you wanna live out your fast and furious fantasy, save this for your trip — and follow keekysworld for more unique spots in Japan

Tokyo’s Biggest Flea Market Prices🪩 🎩 👢 

Had to dedicate at least 2 videos to this market it is so amazing I went 3 times 😆

If you love thrifting and a bargain save this spot for your next trip to Japan - promise you won’t regret it. 

This flea market is on in Shinagawa at Oi Racecourse every weekend and had the lowest prices for second hand goods I saw throughout the entire trip. I regret not buying so many of the things I showed in this video 😅

Also I know the Margiela boots are controversial - I used to be a hater too but Pinterest changed me and now I think they’re cute af vs my mum who screamed when I showed her the photos 🥲 thoughts?! 

P.S I’m documenting my entire solo trip to Japan here so make sure you follow keekysworld to see all the hidden gems I found and my honest reviews of the not so hidden gems 💎 2025-04-30 01:40:41 .. 297 -46% 20 -52%
Let’s go thrift shopping at the flea market 💃 

This flea market has been one of my favourite finds in Tokyo - I am not kidding there are so many treasures here ready to be found!

Day 2 of my trip I relocated to stay with my friend in Shinagawa for a few days. It’s definitely more of a residential area but has some great local places to eat and also is home to Tokyo’s biggest flea market at Oi Racecourse. 

This is on most Saturdays and some Sundays and I loved it so much I went back the next day and found so many bargains! 

My tips for anyone heading there would be:
- go early, the vibes are much nicer at 10.30am as opposed to midday and it closes at 2
- don’t be scared to haggle, a lot of vendors will offer you lower prices if they see you’re interested
- take cash, I didn’t see anyone with card machines
- give yourself hours because this place is huge and there’s three sections, outdoors, under the car park, and above the car park… we only got through a fraction of the open outdoor bit on our first trip

And also I would say if you see something you like just buy it - you will not find it cheaper anywhere else and it probably won’t be there if you go back the next week (I learned this the hard way 😭) 

Did you know about this flea market?!

A little digital gratitude journal 📝 

In the midst of all my Japan content coming out, I wanted to take a moment to pause and say a massive thank you to invyted.app and returnofthehuman who basically bank rolled half this trip 🫶

If you don’t know invyted.app and you’re a creator - get to know them, they’re one of the best influencer platforms I have been a part of and they have so many really cool opportunities for creators on their app! At the end of last year I entered a piece of content into one of their competitions and the prize essentially paid for this entire trip to Japan - a solo trip I’ve been dreaaaaming of for years ever since my year abroad in Tokyo came to an end. 

Although I am sometimes (often) stressed, I am also incredibly ✨blessed✨ and so so grateful not only to Invyted for helping make this trip a reality, but to you guys for always supporting me along the way! 

And let’s be real if it wasn’t for you this page wouldn’t exist and I wouldn’t be living my best life in Tokyo 😂 so thank you thank you thank you endlessly for quite literally helping to make my dreams come true 🫶

Also I can’t wait to show you the rest of my photoshoot snaps from louixa 😍 2025-04-25 03:10:40 .. 216 -60% 31 -25%
Solo in Japan Unfiltered: Shibuya Sky

It’s been a few years since I’ve been on a solo trip actually, and so I kind of forgot that experiences feel different when you’re on your own vs in a group. Especially because doing things on my own literally doesn’t phase me, in fact a lot of times I do actually prefer it… 

Maybe this gave me a bit of a false sense of confidence because I didn’t even think twice about this when booking tickets to Shibuya Sky. When it comes to sunset pics Shibuya Sky is literally *that girl* and seems to be the top of everyone’s bucket lists so I dutifully jumped on board and was setting alarms 4 weeks in advance and even having practice runs to snag the sunset tickets I wanted (was surprisingly easy) 

Anyway I thought I would show you guys what these viral hot spots look like both unfiltered and through the lens of a solo traveler. 

I’ll let you watch the video to find out my honest thoughts on Shibuya Sky but I will say that I think a bit of music here would go a very long way because the views are to die for but the vibe is equally well… dead lol

I’m thinking maybe it’s because being your own camera crew isn’t really that fun after a while, especially when the venue is so strict (I wasn’t even allowed my lip balm never mind a tripod) At one point I felt really bored waiting for sunset and took myself off to the restaurant to FaceTime friends and get a mojito (mid) and some fries (fire) 🍟 

I will say though I was so blessed to see such a truly gorgeous sunset with not a single cloud in the sky - I just for once wish I’d had a friend to enjoy it or even just some music 😂 🌅

Solo in Japan Day 1 was juuuuust 🤏 a little bit of a rollercoaster…

But I genuinely couldn’t be happier than being back in Tokyo where I spent a year living during my university year abroad. 

Since this is a solo trip and at times I’ll be spending a lot of time on my own, I thought I’d treat myself to a photoshoot since there may not always be someone around to get pics for me. 

My mistake was booking this on Day 1 of my trip (wanted my braids to be fresh) and not taking into conservation that my budget airline would lose the suitcase with all my makeup in it 🫠

But guess what - we got through it and I ended up having literally the best first day in Tokyo, despite all the shenanigans and lack of makeup/deo. 

Here’s all the places featured in ep 1 (save this post so you don’t lose them)
frejanailsalon affordable nails in Shinjuku
at_cosme_tokyo Tokyo’s Sephora in Harajuku
shibuya_sky Famous sunset observatory in Shibuya
debrisdaikanyama Hidden speakeasy 

P.S. I’m doing my best to keep these vlogs as short as I can for insta - but if you want all the joocy details head to the other app for the long versions and extra content (drunk 7/11 haul incoming 🤣)

Fly solo to Japan with me! ✈️ 💭 

Just gonna preface this by saying that this journey was not for the weak. It was 👏not 👏 for 👏 the 👏 weak!

But that’s what you get when you buy the cheapest flights you can find with an airline you have never heard of…

Anyway hope you enjoy this lil flight drama as I made my way from Manchester to Shanghai and finally Tokyo all on my own to start my epic 2.5 week solo adventure round Japan 🎌

Although losing my luggage was very inconvenient, the silver lining of this absolutely horrific journey was that the stress and the delays kept me awake and pumped full of adrenaline meaning I went to bed at 11.30pm and woke up with absolute no jet lag - win!

If one of your 2025 goals was to start saying yes more and trying new things, this is perfect for you!👇
 
Lately, I’ve been so focused on goals and productivity that I haven’t been getting out as much as I’d like. One of my goals for 2025 is to say yes more. Yes to new experiences, yes to spontaneous plans, and yes to making the most of what’s on my doorstep. National Lottery Open Week literally couldn’t be a more perfect opportunity to do just that!
 
Last year, I took full advantage of nationallotterygoodcauses  National Lottery Open Week and went further afield for some amazing free days out. But this year, I decided to stay a little closer to home and take a walk down memory lane with my dad, visiting Bradford which is the 2025 UK City of Culture.
 
If you didn’t know, bradford_2025 has been supported with more than £13m of National Lottery funding, helping to showcase the rich history of the city and spotlight its culture in all its forms.
 
My dad and I spent the day exploring bradfordmuseums Cartwright Hall, revisiting some of his childhood, and diving into history at Bolling Hall (which according to legend is haunted 👀)
 
All the details you need 👇
During National Lottery Open Week, from March 15th-23rd, with a National Lottery ticket or scratchcard, you can access free entry or special offers at incredible venues across the UK. Both museums I visited with my dad are already free to enter, but with my National Lottery ticket I got a discount in each shop and in Cartwright Hall’s café! (I bought the cutest postcard for my journal)
 
It’s all to say #ThanksToYou to players who help raise £30 million for Good Causes every week. If you fancy a free or discounted day out, check out what’s near you at NationalLotteryOpenWeek.com
 
Here’s to saying yes and enjoying some local adventures ✨

Writing ‘you have time’ instead of ‘you still have time’ because you’re very ✨mindful✨ and don’t wanna trigger your fellow millennials 

I just wanted to say that I started making content at 27, it felt a little bit late in the game. In fact, at the time I did start it was a bit of a last ditch effort at trying something new as everything I was currently trying seemed to be falling flat. I felt like I’d missed my chance really at making something in my career that I was truly proud of (which is ridiculous in hindsight)

And yeah tbh I did start late, but the point is that I started and I absolutely love love love looking back through all this footage and seeing just how much life I have lived in the past two years. I’m so glad I took the content. I’m even more glad I POSTED the content, because there’s a lot I never would have experienced if I didn’t. 

And I’m also not worried at all about not having a husband, children, or a mortgage before I turn 30. To be honest I wouldn’t actually have it any other way - it’s very on brand for me 😂

So this one is for my fellow unmarried, child free 90s babies, out there makin core memories with a very big birthday milestone on the horizon. There are not so many of us left these days which I know can be daunting. This is a reminder to let yourself live - you have so much time 🫶

Unfiltered update on what happened after the crisis

So I just turned 29 which blows my mind every single time I say it because I don’t really have anything that I thought I would have by “this age”…

I’m actually at the tail end of a quarter life crisis that started about a year and a half ago and led to me to literally flip my life, turn upside down, and move back in with my parents. So i thought I’d just update you on how that’s going 😂

✨After throwing in the towel at my corporate job and resigning myself to be unemployed, I got a remote marketing job- contrary to popular belief remote working is awfully lonely, I never travel while working, and I gained a lotta lbs from the lack of movement.

✨At the end of 2023 I also blocked every single person I knew on social media, started this account, and watched it blossom. While it’s one of the best things that ever happened to me, and I’ve worked with some huge brands and even been flown out to Barbados, it also takes so much from me and I live with a constant anxiety that I should be filming, editing, engaging, scrolling at any given moment. I make money from it but not enough to fully live off while i’m still working a 9-5 and I kind of feel like the money takes the joy out of something I used to do for pleasure

✨It’s been a year and a half since I moved home and I don’t think im leaving any time soon. At first I shied away from going out at home and refused to ‘settle in’ because it kind of made me feel like a failure but since I’ve been here I’ve saved money (not tons but more than before), I’ve built a business, I spent time with my family, and reunited with some very old friends. And to me that means something 🥰

So I guess what I’m saying is even if you don’t have a mortgage, or thousands in the bank, or a shiny new engagement ring… Even without any of those things, you’re probably doing just fine.

GETTING OVER YOUR FEAR OF CRINGE 🫣

Looking back at before I started creating content, I was definitely letting my fear of ‘being cringe’ control me and what I did. I don’t know why but, my generation in particular seems to be paralysed by this fear of being seen to be ‘trying’ online. 

Maybe it stems from school, or maybe it stems from being the first digital natives to see the rise and fall of the ‘influencer.’ Seeing the way that they were first idolised, and then eventually mocked. It’s enough to put you off wanting to try content.

But the content game has change and it is truly so worth trying.

And not just for the following, or for the money. But for the knowledge that you really backed yourself and you were brave enough to give something that was calling to you a go. 

I honestly used to care so much about what people would think if they saw me ‘trying’ to make content online. Pushing through that barrier is the most liberating and freeing feeling — to no longer feel worried about being cringey or being seen to be trying.

Making content has added so many professional and personal benefits to my life. I am an all-round better person because of it and in getting over this fear of what other people might find cringey, it’s given me the confidence to be so much bolder in a lot of other areas of my life too. 

But the fact that I actually can call myself a content creator and get paid from real brands just for the ideas that I have in my head and the way I can translate them into an Instagram reel - to me that is the ultimate flex. The rewards far out weight a couple of minutes of feeling “stupid” while I film myself.

P.s. if you don’t know me hi I’m Nikki! I’m 29, just moved back home to my parents house and I document how I’m navigating this, and my journey to becoming a content creator. Follow the journey on keekysworld 2025-03-02 16:24:04 .. 30 -95% 1 -98%
A perfect morning routine won’t save you

This is Week 2 of The Pull Up Diaries and I decided I’d change the format up so that I can share what I learned from the week rather than just telling you what I did. 

This week had me reflecting on the excuses that I made last year time after time. I’m in a long distance relationship and also work a remote job but still need to visit the office twice a month, attend events, and see my family… this means I’m on the road a lot, I spend a lot of time in hotels or staying with friends/my boyfriend at weekends. Having this really inconsistent lifestyle makes it so hard for me to stay consistent in a lot of my goals.

I spent a lot of time going over my goals and trying to create the perfect morning routine with chat GPT, but that only works when I’m in routine. The minute I’m off out and about, the routine goes out the window and so does my consistency.

I discovered the phrase: you rise to the level of your systems, when I was researching my goal setting for 2025 and when I looked into it it really made a lot of sense to me. 

I put a system in place which is actually so simple but very effective. I set aside an hour at the end of the week to plan the week ahead and when I say plan I mean every detail, written down on paper. I write out where I’m going to stay, where I’m going to train, what workout I’ll do, what meals I will eat, what meals I need to prep. It sounds like an effort but it makes the rest of the week feel so much smoother knowing that everything has already been carefully thought out and I can just run the system. 

This week proved to myself that with a system I can still stay consistent even when my environment has changed, and at the end of the week I made progress! One chin up! Very pleased to see how far I’ve come along in just two weeks 🥰

My top tips for cheap flights + Japan route advice 

Ngl I was expecting to pay a minimum of £800 for return flights to Japan during cherry blossom season so I’m genuinely thrilled to get them for under £600 including luggage - and with no horrendous flight times. Here’s my top tips for finding affordable flights:
1. I always use skyscanner monthly view to find the best dates to fly on, I find it a lot more user friendly than Google flights and it has not failed me yet. I scout the flights out a few weeks in advance before purchasing them.
2. Be prepared for layovers. Because flying to Japan is such a brutal trip I was trying to avoid a long layover between flights but after doing some research they actually seem like a lot of fun to have a mini adventure in a random country. My layover is 10 hours in Shanghai which I think is enough time to go out into the city without feeling really panicked about getting back for the flight
3. Always search in private mode to avoid prices being hiked up my your cookies. For real I would never buy flights if I wasn’t in private mode. 

And for anyone considering a trip to Japan at some point, if it’s your first trip I actually don’t always recommend booking return flights. Since most people want to start in Tokyo then move over to the Kansai area and visit Kyoto, Nara, Osaka (the golden triangle) it actually doesn’t make much sense to buy a return ticket because it means you have to take the Shinkansen all the way back to Tokyo just to fly home, and the tickets are not that cheap. Also sometimes the flights from kansai airport are actually cheaper than from Tokyo! 

I personally opted for return flights because I’ll be visiting friends in Tokyo, solo travelling kansai, flying over to Okinawa, and then returning to Tokyo to say goodbye to my friends. That’s why I went for a return ticket. 

Stay tuned for more BTS of what activities I’m booking, how I’ll plan my route etc. less than a month until I jet off so I’ve got a loooot to organise 😭✈️

Hope you enjoyed this lil behind the scenes breakdown 🥰🫶 2025-02-25 01:52:36 .. 167 -69% 45 +9%
