Today is a strange day: on the one hand we are bubbling with excitement to get to Hawaii, but on the other hand we are so sad to leave Japan. We’ve met some awesome people, climbed sand dunes, walked vine bridges, trekked gorges, swam in lakes and cuddled cats, hedgehogs and foxes. Despite this, it feels like our ‘Japan Wish List’ is longer now than when we arrived. But this, we’ve realised, is just the sign of an amazing country; continuously giving you reasons to come back. We suspect we will never be ‘done’ with Japan.

Also…we may never be done with writing about Japan, many blog posts to follow!
