Family Holiday in Japan 2015

A family holiday in Japan, it was our first time in Japan, we started at Tokyo and traveled to Kyoto and our final stop was Osaka. We just missed the peak Cherry Blossom (Sakura) season but we still managed to see some of the Cherry Blossom variety that was blooming late. It was two weeks of non stop walking, catching the amazing Japan Rail system and travelling on buses. The food is super yummy especially the desserts ! It was an amazing experience for us and the kids.

All the images was captured using my tiny Olympus OMD EM10 with a 17mm and also a Fisheye lens.

Always fun trying to work out where to go and how to buy the rail tickets
