Tokyo, Japan: February 9th-16th, 2024
Follow me, an American expat writer and photographer, as I explore Tokyo, Japan with my family. We spent a week in the city, a brief escape from our home in Beijing during the Chinese New Year festivities. We stayed in the Shiba neighborhood and traveled throughout the Japanese capital. I caught up with two friends from my past, folks I haven’t seen in over twenty years. We hope to visit again soon. Photos were taken with an iPhone and FujiFilm X-T200 and then edited with Adobe Lightroom.
