Hello! I’m Katie. I love seeing the world and writing about the places I’ve visited - you can find my travel blog at www.travellingwithteabags.com. On here I’ll be sharing my posts and travel-related things that I think are neat!
It's only a few months until the Sapporo Snow Festival! If you're heading to Japan & looking for inspiration, this winter itinerary (Tokyo, Sapporo, Aomori, Sendai and Yamagata) covers not one but THREE snow festivals!

Matsushima bay is a short train ride away from Sendai in Tohoku, Japan. It is so picturesque! Wasn’t quite expecting the four seasons in a day when I visited though…
