Why I created this Guide ?

Japan is an incredible destination, but trip planning can be time-consuming and stressful. After exploring Japan, I realized most travelers struggle with the same things: what to see, in what order, and how to get around. And I know how frustrating it is to jump between TikTok, Instagram, and travel blogs, trying to piece together the perfect Japan trip. My goal is simple : make Japan travel easy, efficient, and stress-free so you can spend less time planning and more time experiencing the country.

I'm a travel enthusiast hailing from a French island. With a heart full of wanderlust, I embarked on a journey to the Land of the Rising Sun, where I immersed myself in the captivating culture of Japan for a year. From savoring delectable sushi to chasing cherry blossoms, I'm here to inspire your own Japanese odyssey. Japan is my favorite country I've ever visited. My itinerary guides represent months of planning and research. They include one or many interactive maps, directions, and many tips. They are online version and PDf with all links, and maps that you can add to Google Maps so you can use it in real-time during your trip.


I've taken all of my experiences from my gap year in Japan and my recent trip to Japan and compiled them into these guides, including the lessons learned and what I wish I had known.
