We should be flying to Japan in exactly one month, but with our trip now pretty much officially cancelled we're starting to look towards 2021, when hopefully we can go and then we can also celebrate my 30th birthday properly.
We've booked the same dates off work for the trip, with the Olympics being pushed back to next July too that will hopefully mean everything we'd planned for this July will still pretty much fit in. I'm expecting festival and firework events to be brought forward to before the Olympics like they were planned for this year, so hopefully we'll finally be able to attend some!
We had so much planned for this year, Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Kamakura & their firework event, we were going to revisit some temples and shrines we've not seen since our first trip and travel to some others we've never seen before.
We should have been visiting Nintendo Land in Universal Studios Japan around the time it officially opened and checking out the new Fantasyland in Tokyo Disneyland, riding the new Baymax ride, celebrating Tanabata and the summer matsuri.
But mostly, I was just looking forward to picking up a Coolish from 7 Eleven and sitting in the sun taking everything in.
So for now, i'll just wait for the flights to be released for 2021 so I can start planning again, hopefully it'll be a little easier next year, it was stressful finding a hotel for our dates - so many held off on releasing their rooms for July & August, probably down to the Olympics, but we did manage to secure our usual Tokyo hotel, a Stitch room at the Disney Ambassador Hotel and a Pokemon room at the Mimaru Kyoto, hopefully we can book all of these again for next year.
