Thinking about a day trip from Amsterdam? Try Utrecht. Canals, cafés, Miffy, seriously amazing museums, a gorgeous library, an arty light trail and the tallest church tower in the Netherlands.

Hello, I'm Helen and I'm a trainspotter, so going on a bullet train was obviously a non-negotiable for my quick trip to Japan!

Luckily I found some great short bullet train trips from Tokyo 🚅

In November I flew KLM Premium Comfort (their premium economy class) for the 13 hour journey to Tokyo.

Here's my review of the experience: www.helenonherholidays.com/klm-premium-...

Got my first view of Mount Fuji before I'd even landed in Tokyo 🥹

My planning for Japan is out of control 😂

What's the one thing I shouldn't miss on my first trip to Tokyo?

Visited Northern Ireland for the first time this year and got to see the Giant's Causeway. What an amazing place!

A mist rolled in off the sea while we were there, making it all look even more magical and mysterious ✨
