About Me

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by.

I’m a father of two, working for a foreign company in Japan.
My job takes me across the country, and whenever I get the chance—whether it’s during business trips or weekend outings with my family—I love exploring Japan’s local gems.

This blog is all about Japan’s hidden spots:

  • Small-town shrines, scenic villages, and countryside cafés

  • Off-the-beaten-path attractions that locals love but tourists often miss

  • Family-friendly places and relaxing nature escapes

Instead of focusing on the big tourist cities, I spotlight authentic, local experiences you won’t find in the average guidebook. If you’re curious about the real Japan—quiet temples in the mountains, mom-and-pop diners in rural towns, or unique roadside stops—you’re in the right place.

Let’s enjoy the everyday adventure, one hidden gem at a time.
