On the last day in Japan, there was still some time for a trip to Ueno Park and the adjacent Ueno Zoo.
Unfortunately, there were no Giant Pandas to see at the moment, but the zoo in Tokyo offers a look at numerous animal species 🦍🦬🐊🦒🦏🐸🦩🐅🐢🐘🦅🐍
Thus, a wonderful and varied journey through Thailand

Our sightseeing tour through Kanazawa led us to the Omicho Market 🍱🍤, the Higashi-Chaya geisha district 🥻, and the wonderfully green Utatsuyama Park 🌳.
A stop at Café Hiyokomame is highly recommended, a successful mix of delicious Matcha Latte 🍵 and a feel-good atmosphere with chill musical sounds

The culmination of our multi-day temple tour in Kyoto was a visit to Nijo Castle (Nijojo), built in 1603, and the Myōshin-ji temple complex.
However, the golden highlight is undoubtedly the Zen temple Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion) and the Zen garden Ryōan-ji 😎

Fitting for the weather, this tour led to a somber time travel through Hiroshima Peace Park and the Peace Memorial Museum 🕊
Afterwards, we were able to admire Hiroshima Castle and the historical Shukkei-en Garden in its splendor 🌺🌳
Finally, we went back to our accommodation via Hijiyama Park.

After arriving in Hiroshima, we went directly by high-speed ferry to the island of Miyajima. Here too, free-roaming deer 🦌 accompanied us again.
The island is, however, known for the Itsukushima Shrine and the O-torii Gate that stands in the water at high tide ⛩️

Anyone visiting Osaka or Kyoto on their trip should not miss Nara Park, just outside the gates of both major cities.
Here you will encounter the famously notorious free-roaming deer at every corner 🦌
As a rule, they behave just as nobly as the Japanese themselves and bow first to get some food

On our exploration of Osaka, this loop first took us past the Shintō shrine Tenman-gū to Osaka Castle, then on to Shitennō-ji Temple and the adjacent Tennoji Park, as well as through the entertainment district Dotonbori, which was flooded with crowds.
I can highly recommend a visit to the Miraiza Dachkaffee

Also in the east of the Izu Peninsula, the Jogasaki Coast offers an impressive scenery with steep cliffs and lava rock beaches 🤩
Particularly noteworthy is the Kadowaki Suspension Bridge at the Kadowakisaki Lighthouse. From here, you have a spectacular view of the coastline shaped by natural forces.

A beautiful little loop through Dogashima Park and along the picturesque Dogashima Sebama Coast in the west of the Izu Peninsula 😍
On the boat tours offered here, in addition to the already extraordinary sea view, you get a great perspective from the sea of the magnificent coastline and into the Dogashima Sea Cave.

During today's coastal tour on the Izu Peninsula, we accidentally discovered this beautiful, sometimes somewhat dated, approximately 1 km long trail on National Route 136 between Matsuzaki and Iwachi, with a magnificent view of Iwachi Beach. Additionally, the trail leads to Hagiya Beach 😎
