      Thanks, it was super fun! I wish I was able to visit more of the cute cafes, but there are only so many meals in a day :)

   That must have been an amazing trip! So many amazing photos ♥
   Just curious: Do you have to study a lot of Japanese in preparation for the trip? I hope to go one day soon and was wondering how much to study. I hope to buy one of your amazing guides too!

      I am unfortunately no good at learning languages so I only speak a few basic words and phrases. It’s rarely been a problem, though knowing some Japanese will give you more options. Most Japanese speak a little English and pointing and smiling help a lot. I definitely recommend learning Hiragana and Katakana though – they’re really easy to memorise and it makes a big difference with signs and packaging. I used the Dr Moku apps: http://blog.askingfortrouble.co.uk/2012/05/japan-extras-dr-moku-apps/

   Fantastic! Thank you so much for the help! I took a year of it in college and know some basic grammar, all the hiragana & katakana, and very few kanji. But it’s great to know the language isn’t a huge barrier when traveling!
