Japan - May 2025 (Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Shirakawa, Kanazawa, Kurashiki & more)

In May 2025, we went to Japan for the first time. We mostly stuck to the golden route with a few side trips. This is not a complete view of our trip, as we didn't record enough video to really capture that - but it's at least a bunch of highlights.
