If you’re doing a South Island road trip and stopping by Lake Tekapo or Mount Cook, there’s a lavender farm nearby that’s worth adding as a quick detour. It’s calm and scenic. I think it could be a relaxing stop in between long drives! We visited NZ Alpine Lavender in…

Hotel Review: Ooike Hotel, Fujikawaguchiko
Fujikawaguchiko is a small touristy town offering picturesque views of Mount Fuji. The town was packed with a lot of tourists despite us going during the low season.
