KANAZAWA – JAPAN
5/10/25 – 7/10/25 Located on the western coast of Honshu, Kanazawa is home to a vast array Edo-era architecture and historical sites, giving it the moniker of Little Kyoto, and putting it high on my to-see list.

27/9/25 – 29/9/25 Japan is currently the third-most visited country for Australian tourists, with almost 1 million Aussies travelling to the ‘land of the rising sun’ in the last year – it certainly felt time to see it for myself!
