Seeing that we were all advised to stay home during April due to the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, the only breath of fresh air many of our readers could get was during outdoor exercise breaks. Whether that’s taking your pets for a walk, riding your bike through the spring breeze, or just walking around the block, it was nice to see so many of you bring your cameras along to snap a shot.
Despite it all, we want to thank everyone who participated in our #GaijinPotSakura2020 photo contest this year. Winners will be announced on May 15!
Every month, we select our favorite travel images from readers. Tag your photo on Instagram with #GaijinPotTravel for a chance to be featured on our site!
