Ring in the New Year in Tokyo

Japan, Asia

Tokyo New Years Eve Fireworks

One of the best places to celebrate the start of a new year is undoubtedly Tokyo in Japan - you’ll get to take part in festivities for not just one day but for an entire week!

Japan’s new year celebrations start from 29th December and continue until 4th January. To enjoy a cultural experience the best spots to celebrate the new year in Tokyo is at Meiji Shrine or at Zoji-ji Temple where a monk rings the bell 108 times to denote the arrival of new year but if you like crowds and the party vibe, then head to Shibuya Crossing and partake in the countdown party - unquestionably one of the best outdoor New Year parties in the world.

When I first started in the travel industry, I didn’t even have a passport! Fast forward a few months, and that had all changed – I hit the ground running on my first overseas adventure, and I haven’t stopped since. Whether it’s getting immersed in the local culture, or ticking off bucket list moments, travel has a unique magic that stays with you forever. 

I love using my own travel experience to bring that personal, unique touch to your dream holiday, making a seamless experience from the planning stages right through to your return home. From navigating the bustling metropolis of Hong Kong to exploring the USA on a road trip, there’s a world out there just waiting to be discovered. 

Let’s have a chat, and make your travel dreams a reality!

I really do have a passion for travel especially visiting new destinations. 

I very rarely spend my holidays at home. I'm usually on a plane with husband Mike - suitcases over packed as usual. 

We enjoy being active on holiday - walking 800 kms across Spain on the Camino, biking through Latvia and Estonia. 

I equally enjoy a good beach holiday such as Santorini, Fiji and Queensland. 

We also manage to fit in visiting children and grandchildren in London, Hong Kong and Sydney.
