If you ask me whether it’s worth driving on your own in Japan 100% YES. These views alone are reason enough to take the wheel. #japan #vacation #tokyotokyo
A day trip to Kamakura only an hour away from Tokyo by JR line (Enoshima Island, Kotoku-in, Yoridokoro, 鎌倉 松原庵 青) missing Fuji-San, but all good and a chill day out by the sea 🌊 🗻🦅

Highly recommended for both Hida-Furukawa town and Shirakawa-go UNESCO World Heritage village site!
What stood out most for me in Shirakawa-go wasn’t just the beautiful heritage houses, but how the locals continue to preserve such high standards in their restaurants, food, and wagashi despite the heavy tourist traffic.
The quality feels genuine, not commercialized, every meal and sweet treat still carries that local pride and craftsmanship, making the experience even more memorable!

This doesn’t show how long the drive was or how winding the roads were before we finally reached Shirakawago!
A long, winding drive through countless tunnels, but the scenery between each one was absolutely stunning. With the alpine mountains in the background, it was definitely worth the journey.
Highly recommended to pop by Hida-Furukawa, try the grilled Hida beef, sake brewery for tasting and stock up some sake, remember to feed the bid koi in the stream! 🎏

Day 1 of our trip started with a 2.5-hour drive from Tokyo, with a detour to Narai-juku before heading to Matsumoto!
The drive was pleasant, and we even caught a glimpse of Mt. Fuji just past Kawaguchiko on the motorway. Driving in Tokyo was a bit stressful at first because we weren’t used to the traffic system.
Tips for exploring Narai-juku: if you’re planning to have lunch here, try to arrive before 1 PM, as most lunch spots close after 2 PM, or may not even be open, especially during Golden Week.
Best gear for spring: bring a light jacket, as it can get quite windy. Luckily, we had a sunny day! A light, travel-friendly tote bag from @natgeostore_my was also ideal since we ended up doing quite a bit of shopping here.
Then we headed back to Matsumoto, checked in, had dinner, enjoyed a hot steamy onsen, and called it a night!

Join our founder @___simonkhoo this 19 April for City Wellness Day. From sunrise runs to padel, yoga, and everything in between… this is what we stand for.
See you on court. 💙 #padel #kualalumpur #klcc #malaysia #wellness
I once manifested a moment like this,
a day where I could bring together some of the beautiful souls I’ve met at different stages of my life, into one shared space @citypadelkl@fresca.kl , to let their goodness be experienced by all of you.
These are people who have inspired me in their own ways. They’ve taught me to stay positive, stay creative, and stay true to myself. Some of you have also supported me quietly and consistently along the way, and that means more than you know.
Today, I’m grateful that this wish became reality.
Thank you for being here and for making this moment so special.
On a meaningful day like International Women’s Day, it feels even more powerful to celebrate community, inspiration, and the strength we share.
And to all our partners who joined us on this journey, thank you for believing in it with us.
