Japan Gems! (May-June 2021)


Just going through photos and closing up the journal on Japan memories. These photos are from May & June 2021 during our finals weeks in Japan. We left at the perfect time, right before the hot humid unbearable part of the sticky summer starts. These photos make me smile, all good memories mostly of the boys who will never remember Japan but they were such happy simple good times. 

Them giving me flowers was totally unposed. Sweetest flower pickers on the daily. 







I read somewhere that flower watching is a sport in Japan, which is true. It was hydrangea season when we left and did take too many photos of the flowers this year. But love this season.

Family Photos Japan

One of the final things I wanted to do in Japan was get family pictures! We never got them here in all our years living in Tokyo so my final request was some family pictures in this city we love so much. We bribed the kids real good and got on our best clothes and got some pictures from Ippei and Janine <3

Asakusa and More

 

May 2021- Lately feeling forever behind on the blog. My camera cards are full of past memories of Japan and now we have moved and all I have left really are these photos and past memories that will soon fade. It has been much harder to leave Japan than I ever, ever anticipated. We made a really great life in Tokyo and as much as I complained about our tiny apartment it really was sad to walk away and say goodbye. These photos are from my camera mostly from exploring Asakusa and walking near skytree.
