Bram & Robin’s Honeymoon in Tokyo: A Week 1 Review (And We’re Melting)
Okay, let’s be honest: we’re all enjoying a bit of a vicarious thrill with Bram Krikke and his new wife Robin. The couple who already treated us to a fairytale wedding last August (think: Sparrendaal estate, a dress by Fleur van der Kooij and piano playing by Wibi Soerjadi) have finally jetted off on their honeymoon. And not just anywhere, but to vibrant Tokyo. Bram is sharing snapshots of 'week 1' on Instagram, and wow, what a trip it’s turning out to be. We’ve taken a closer look at your favourite honeymoon review and rounded up the best moments for you. Consider this your secret honeymoon guide for anyone thinking of taking the plunge themselves.
Lovebirds in the city of the future
While most newlyweds opt for a tropical Bounty-style island, Bram and Robin did things differently. They’re spending a few weeks exploring the bustling metropolis of Japan. And what’s the best way to actually use a honeymoon? Well, exactly how this couple does it: enjoy yourself without a rigid schedule, but make sure you hit the best hotspots. From the moment they landed, we’ve been treated to images straight out of a romantic film. The view from their hotel room? The iconic Tokyo Tower, right outside the window. What more could you ask for, right?
Bram’s love story with Robin is very much one for our times. It started in March 2022 with a simple DM on Instagram. Fast forward to now: they’re married and savouring the afterglow in one of the coolest cities on earth. It’s clear these two know how to plan a honeymoon. No standard beach-lounging, but soaking up culture, eating the wildest things and constantly getting lost in each other – and in the crowds of Shibuya.
What’s on the itinerary in Tokyo?
Robin and Bram are showing that Tokyo is the perfect destination for couples who love contrasts. It’s chaotic and hyper-modern, yet also timelessly classic and romantic. From their stories and posts, we’ve spotted at least these must-dos for your own list:
- Climb Tokyo Tower: The cliché works, plain and simple. The view is breathtaking, both during the day and at night.
- Tokyo Disneyland: Yes, seriously. The couple really let their hair down there. Proof that a honeymoon doesn’t always have to be 'relaxing'; having fun like two big kids is just as important.
- Culinary indulgence: From the freshest sushi to instant noodles in a tiny back alley. They’re sharing photos of the quirkiest treats you absolutely have to try.
- Self-care & face masks: Travelling is tiring, so they’re making time to unwind. An evening in with a face mask is the perfect way to end a long day of walking.
The power of an extended honeymoon
What strikes us about this honeymoon review is that the couple are truly taking their time. Bram writes 'week 1', implying they’ll be away for longer. How to use a honeymoon the right way? By not rushing. You’ve just got married, you’ve survived the whirlwind of the big day (in their case, August 2025 in Driebergen). This is the moment to really reconnect with each other, away from all obligations. Whether that’s during a stroll through a Japanese park or giggling together while wearing face masks.
Fans are responding with floods of heart emojis under Bram’s posts. And let’s face it: a honeymoon isn’t just a holiday. It’s the first official trip as a married couple, the start of a new chapter. Bram and Robin are doing a fantastic job by letting us share in the joy, but above all by enjoying it together. We can’t wait for the photos from week 2!
