MANIFESTING JAPAN with VIDA and DARUMA
🤞🇯🇵❤️

My adoration for the Land of the Rising Sun knows no bounds, which is precisely why I've dedicated this page to our Japan adventures. Each journey to Japan holds a special place in my heart, and to mark the occasion, I make it a tradition to acquire a daruma wishing doll and set it upon my desk. It serves as a beacon of my desire to return to that cherished land.

However, alongside my collection of daruma dolls, there's now a new addition to my workspace that holds profound significance—a beverage that not only satiates my thirst but also serves as a tangible reminder of my aspirations! I indulge in this drink, aiding me in manifesting my future trips to Japan.

I stumbled upon this drink in convenience stores initially, dismissing it as just another sparkling beverage among the myriad options available. But I assure you, this one stands out!

The salty-lychee flavor, in particular, has captured my taste buds and my imagination. Initially, I bought it on a whim to participate in the Vida contest, but little did I anticipate that it would become a newfound favorite. Its exquisite taste almost distracted me from capturing a photo for the contest.

With this delightful discovery, I've found a fresh avenue to alleviate my yearning for Japan, one sip at a time.

Korankei Valley in Toyota City, Aichi 🍂

We now know why this place is one of the best spot for autumn colors in Chubu. We went there on November 22, the leaves are already red. We enjoyed the view of the forest, mountain, and the river. The weather is also good.

Initially, we plan to took the buses from Nagoya going here but ended up taking a private tour since we need to catch our train for Osaka that day.

Awesome experience! The place is magical. ✨ The red bridge with the red trees as background is iconic. ❤️
