Actor Rashmika Mandanna has shared a fresh set of photos and videos from her Japan trip after attending the Anime Awards in Tokyo. Posting on Instagram, she wrote, “Japan was extra fun this year!” The update gave fans a look at her time on the streets of Japan, its traditional food, and a brief appearance by her husband, Vijay Deverakonda. The beautiful upload made it clear that Rashmika was not travelling alone. Along with solo pictures and videos, she shared a few blurry photographs of Vijay as the couple spent time together abroad, completely melting the hearts of fans online.
The holiday collection opens with gorgeous, cinematic glimpses of the couple exploring Japan’s bustling night energy. In one of the candid frames, Vijay Deverakonda is seen looking back over his shoulder down a beautifully lit, quiet urban street at night. Capturing the true, unfiltered atmosphere of Tokyo’s seasonal weather, the photo looks out through a glass window beaded with raindrops, showcasing a blurred city transit bus and a clean pedestrian crosswalk in the background.
Moving away from the city center, the duo ventured out to witness Japan’s breathtaking natural landscapes. In the picture Rashmika balances a beige beret on her head while looking out from a scenic viewing deck. Wearing a rich burgundy short-sleeved top, she playfully holds up a small, smooth black stone. For travellers looking to recreate this vibe, the active volcanic valley of Owakudani in Hakone is a must-visit destination, famous for its sulfur vents and panoramic ropeway views.
No vacation is complete without diving headfirst into the local culinary scene, and Rashmika’s diary proves she is a certified foodie. In her photos, she showcases a towering, ultra-fluffy strawberry soufflé pancake dusted with powdered sugar and topped with ice cream, followed by highlights of a steaming, comforting bowl of authentic Japanese ramen packed with a soft-boiled egg and nori sheets. Rashmika is also seen sipping a vibrant green iced matcha latte through a straw at a cafe. Food lovers can head to Tokyo’s Harajuku district for viral soufflé pancake spots, or visit Uji near Kyoto for the ultimate, authentic matcha experience.
The actress also seamlessly leaned into the local culture through her gorgeous fashion choices. Among the images, Rashmika was seen wearing a traditional Japanese yukata, or lightweight kimono, with an all-over pattern of orange and yellow sunflowers and green leaves. To experience this firsthand, tourists frequently visit Kyoto’s Gion District or the historic Asakusa area in Tokyo, where traditional kimono rentals allow you to walk through ancient temple grounds in style.
Closing out her aesthetic diary on a highly energetic note, Rashmika flashed her signature playful energy while exploring the country’s interactive modern art hubs. She pulls forward her white graphic tee that reads “CHILL OUT” while flashing a playful wink against a backdrop of unique, large metallic egg-like outdoor art structures. In another video, she was seen moving playfully across a space filled with rounded, boulder-like mounds painted with neon polka dots. This perfectly mirrors the immersive, world-famous digital art experiences found at teamLab Planets and teamLab Borderless in Tokyo—a definitive bucket-list destination for anyone planning their next big getaway to Japan.
