TRAVEL DIARIES: A behind-the-scenes look at where our team travels

Early morning at the Golden Pavilion in Kyoto, Japan.

Japan is one the countries I love visiting during early winter. Kinkaku-ji temple (also known as the Golden Pavilion) which is a World Heritage Site is especially serene in the early morning. This photo was taken on one of my early morning walks. - Belinda Wu Mellen, GTP , Business Development Manager for World Travel Protection.

Her Japan Travel Tips:

• Nobody talks on the phone while using public transportation, so be sure to follow suit.
• Tokyo's public transportation will get you just about anywhere; just do your research before as it can feel chaotic if you are not used to living in a metropolitan area.
• If you ever get lost, any Japanese person would be proud to show you the right direction so don't hesitate to ask.
