our favorite city in japan to date 🫶🏼

quiet but very scenic, with lots of niche shops that we didn't have enough time to explore. most of the time, this city is the jump-off to kamikochi or shinhotaka ropeway.

one of the highlights during our stay here was visiting the matsumoto city museum of art which houses a year-long exhibition of yayoi kusama's art, who is a matsumoto native. we had the chance to see her art firsthand and gain insights into her creative process.

side note: for this trip, i was fully intending to start a mini-documentary project on japanese police stations or koban but side quests took over and i completely forgot 😅

i wish we could come back in winter or early spring so we can see the alps surrounding the city.

kamikochi x matsumoto vlog coming up next week~ 😉

who would have thought that for an hour of train ride you'll get to reach a castle town that still has the look and vibe of old tokyo?

that's kawagoe for you! watch us explore kawagoe and its nostalgic atmosphere, some good coffee, and charming streets.

table spreads during our trip to kuramae and kiyosumi-shirakawa 🤤

wanted an off-the-beaten path spots for our tokyo trip and found these quiet neighborhoods with so many good finds for food, coffee, and other knick-knacks.

it was also our first time to trying fukagawa-meshi, a local dish from kiyosumi-shirakawa oozing with clams!! worth a try!

can't help but share this as i think it deserves an immediate spot on our feed!!

the views were breathtaking~

the hike from taisho pond to kappa bridge which is 3.5 km, even took us 2 hours bc we had to stop, take some shots, and admire the view!!

we were also lucky to see the japanese alps. the skies were clear, and the wind was a bit chilly~ 🥶 perfect day for a hike! (naks! 😅)

kamikochi vlog soon....

head on to our instagram account for updates @atimelongpast

some old and new faves in taipei~

of course on top of that list is coffee. we were glad to discover some new cafes worth traveling for and so happy to be back to what we refer to as our "non-negotiable" of this trip 🤭

this was also our first time to see chiang kai shek memorial hall shrouded (tho barely hehe) with cherry blossoms 🌸 same spot but different vibe 🫶🏼

last week, we saw some songkran posts that instantly made us miss chiang mai~

it's so different from bangkok, more tranquil and laid-back yet it has its own energy through vibrant farmers' and artists' markets

counting down until our next trip to chiang mai! for now, we’ll be daydreaming about cozy cafe afternoons, crispy rotis, flavorful seafood krapao, and night markets just outside the old town

took a quick beach trip since we haven't had one in a year or two! it was a nice, relaxing break from work, city life, and all the rush. 🏝️

we were super excited to check out some new spots in urbiztondo, along with a few old favorites. but the best part of the trip was discovering small businesses. buying from local shops is such a personal thing for both the owner and the customer. you can easily tell that they put their heart into everything, making the whole experience way more special. those little chats and moments with the owners would def stick with us and remain a remarkable experience.

elyu vlog is now live! here's the link: https://youtu.be/gtkRvYfv7kk
