Seoul travel diary

Before I post about my time in LA, I wanted to post my Seoul travel diary from Fashion Week. So here you go! I seriously had a feast there for 2 days in a row. ロスでの写真をアップする前に、ソウルの旅行日記を今回紹介します。2日間、とても豪華なお食事を頂けて幸せでした♡

Sakura season in Tokyo

Enjoyed the beginning of cherry blossom season in Tokyo, and now I’m off to enjoy clear blue skies and palm trees. <3 I’ll be posting from California next!

Busan, Korea

I just came back home after a 5-day hiatus from blogging. The first three were due to a shoot which contents I cannot disclose just yet. But all I can say is, my trip to Busan was very much needed after those long 3 days! I spent the night at the Park Hyatt in Busan … Continue Reading

Shinjuku lights

An evening stroll near Shinjuku station. These festive holiday lights remind me of the times my family and I used to walk around then neighborhood to see all the pretty Christmas decorations. 新宿駅近辺のイルミネーション。こういうクリスマスライトを見てると、子供の頃家族と近所のクリスマスライト&デコレーションを見に回ってた時を思い出す

Seoul photo diary

My view of Seoul from behind the camera. Bustling night life, cute coffee shops, kimchi and more kimchi, healthy and delicious food – thank you for being so lovely, Seoul. 私がカメラの後ろから写したソウル。賑やかな夜の街、お洒落なコーヒーショップ、どんな時でもキムチ、美味しくてヘルシーな食事。ソウル、素敵な時間をありがとう。

Sugamo, a different side of Tokyo

In my previous post, I mentioned that Sugamo is a little part of Tokyo that is unlike the heavily populated areas like Shibuya or Shinjuku. The “Shoutengai” districts with rows of mom and pop shops seem to be slowly disappearing, as larger supermarkets and department stores take their places. One of my favorite things about … Continue Reading

Lunch at Kitte, Tokyo Station

This past weekend, I met with my mom, her cousin and daughter for lunch at Kitte Marunouchi, which is right next to Tokyo station. It’s a post office turned department store, with lots of shopping and dining that you can only do in Japan. We lunched at a shabu shabu / tonkatsu restaurant called Hirata … Continue Reading

Cherry blossoms through my iPhone

Spring is so beautiful in Japan when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. I didn’t have my camera on me when I was in the Roppongi Midtown area, so I snapped a few photos on my iPhone. The blossoms there were a whitish pink, almost like snow. Pure bliss. 六本木ミッドタウンの桜が満開!カメラを持ち歩いてなかったので、iPhoneでパシャリ。日本の春はやっぱりいいな。

the city that never sleeps

These were one of the first set of photos I took with my new Canon G7X, before I left for my vacation to California a month ago. A month ago… time really does go by quickly. Before you know it, it’s going to be summer again. Can’t wait to explore the city again with new … Continue Reading

Okinawa photo diary

It’s only been two days but I already miss the beauty that is Okinawa. The southernmost islands of Japan, it is truly a paradise surrounded by a vast and beautiful ocean. I had the opportunity to visit Okinawa for the first time for a work trip to help sell yoga wear at the Satsang Yoga … Continue Reading
