🇯🇵 Japan, you never disappoint! ❤️✨
Japan is always amazing! 😍 After taking care of my health checkup and visiting family graves, I suddenly thought, “You know what? Let’s go to Kyoto!” 😂🚄
And off I went! I explored Kyoto on foot and conquered an incredible 31,500 steps in a single day! ⛩️👣 From the thousands of beautiful torii gates at Fushimi Inari to the breathtaking temples and gardens, every step was worth it. ❤️
I also visited Shuzenji, enjoyed a relaxing onsen experience in Hakone, and paid my respects at Samukawa Shrine. ⛩️♨️
One of the most precious highlights was taking my parents on a drive to Kusatsu Onsen. Being able to hold my mom’s hand as we walked together through the famous Yubatake hot spring area and visited a shrine was such a special moment. ❤️🥹 These are the memories I want to treasure forever.
This trip was the perfect opportunity to recharge my body, refresh my mind, reconnect with my roots, and spend precious time with my family.
Now, my batteries are fully charged! 🔋💪🇯🇵
Time to head back to California, get back to work, take great care of my patients, and give it my all! And who knows… maybe a little more triathlon training, too! 🏊♀️🚴♀️🏃♀️😆
Feeling grateful, refreshed, and ready for the next chapter! ❤️✨
