SUNCHEON SOUTH KOREA PHOTO JOURNAL

During my last trip to South Korea, I had the chance to visit Suncheon. It wasn’t originally part of my plan, but I’m really glad I made the stop.

One of the highlights was exploring Naganeupseong Folk Village. As a K-drama fan, it was fascinating to see a place that felt like stepping right into a historical drama scene.

Naganeupseong is a preserved walled town from the Joseon Dynasty. What’s interesting is that while it’s a popular tourist destination, many of the traditional houses are still lived in and have been updated with modern amenities.

This turned out to be one of those unplanned side trips that ended up being incredibly fulfilling.

If you’re in Busan and looking for a day trip outside the city, Suncheon is a great option. 

There’s even a Suncheon day tour available via Klook (click here to check it out).

MUJI HOTEL GINZA ROOM TOUR

 

Have you ever wondered what a Muji-fied room looks like? No need to imagine, and in fact you can actually stay in one by booking a room at @muji_hotel in Ginza. 

Muji Hotel Ginza is located right in the heart of Tokyo and just about 40 minutes away from Haneda Airport by train. It’s a super convenient location where you can walk to several attractions or hop on a quick train ride. 

YOU CAN BOOK YOUR STAY HERE

But the best part? You get to experience the full Muji lifestyle. And yes, Muji’s global flagship store is just a few floors down your room, you can actually go there from the hotel lobby ( yay Muji shopping everyday haha). 

As a decorator, staying at Muji Hotel Ginza felt like a dream. I left inspired… and with a suitcase full of Muji goodies too. 

Big thanks to @muji_ph ph and @flypal for making this trip happen. Philippine Airlines flies direct from Manila to Haneda and includes 23kg x 2 baggage allowance so you don’t need to worry when you shop.

TRYING PAIN MAISON'S FAMOUS SHIO PAN IN JAPAN

 Trying out the famous Shio Pan in Tokyo! Did you know that salt bread originated in Japan? In a bakery called PAIN MAISON ( in Ehime Prefecture).
But you dont need to go to Ehime, because there are several branches in Tokyo. As a salt bread fan, I didnt hesitate to try. Most of the time there will be a long queue but if you come early, there are only a handful of people in line. I love it!!!!! Now I need to learn how to make one! 🤭😌🙂😅

Rediscovering Tokyo: My 4D3N Stay in Ginza

I've been to Tokyo many times, but this was my first time staying in Ginza. Honestly, I never thought of staying here before. My go-to areas were always Asakusa, Ueno, or Shinjuku, and I usually skipped Shibuya and Ginza. I used to think these areas were too commercial and didn’t offer that “real Tokyo” feel.

So when the chance came to spend 4 days and 3 nights at Muji Hotel Ginza, I said yes right away. I knew it would be a different kind of trip, more relaxed and focused on eating, shopping, and just enjoying the city without rushing around. It felt good not having a checklist and just going with the flow each day.
