🧑‍🚀 Hello — I'm traveling in Japan!

I'll be in Japan between 17 May 2026 and 11 June 2026. This website is my personal travel blog where I'll post experiences, photos, tips, maps, and small stories from days on the road — from crowded city mornings to quiet countryside evenings.

Where I'll be

A rough route: Tokyo → Kanazawa → Shirakawago → Takayama → Kyoto → Amanohashidate → Okayama → Iya Valley → Hiroshima → Nagato → Fukuoka → Kagoshima → Tokyo. Expect trains, temples, shrines, tea houses, lively markets, beaches, gardens, mountains, waterfalls, etc.

I’m not wibu though, nor do I consume any Japanese media, so don’t expect any anime or manga content.

What I'll share

• Day-by-day notes: small wins, misadventures, and favorite meals.
• Photography: street scenes, food close-ups, and landscapes at golden hour.
• Practical tips: rail passes, cash vs card, polite phrases, and packing notes.
• Local flavors: ramen, izakaya hopping, sweets, and regional specialties.

Quick travel tips

• Carry a charged battery pack — trains and wandering will drain your phone.
• Buy an IC card (Suica/Pasmo) for easy travel on most trains and buses.
• Learn a few polite phrases — a little Japanese goes a long way.
• Book popular temples or experiences in advance when possible.

Why this blog

Travel feels better when shared. This space helps me remember the small details (what I ate at 11pm after a long train ride) and gives friends and family a spot to follow along. If something helpful comes up, I’ll also add practical notes so others can reuse them.

If you want me to write about a specific place, food, or travel question, tell me and I’ll try to include it in a post.

Thanks for stopping by — more stories and photos are coming soon. See you on the next post! 🇯🇵
