Hi! Thanks for checking out my blog. My name’s Danielle and I have lived in Japan for a total of 5 years. I’ve worn quite a few hats during my time here, including those of a university student, translator, model and tour guide. I live in Kinosaki Onsen, one of Japan’s scenic hot spring resort towns where I have the privilege of connecting international visitors with warmhearted locals through tours and activities. My weekend hobby is traveling to small towns near and far and sharing them here! At the moment, I am documenting my experiences in the Kansai and Chugoku areas, but other regions are to come soon!
What you WON’T find here:
- Metropolises
- Consumer tourism (mall/luxury brand shopping trips)
- Chain stores
- Large corporate businesses
- “Cookie cutter” sights
What you WILL find here:
- Medium-scale cities and rural towns
- Thoughtful souvenirs and keepsakes
- Mom-and-pop shops
- Local businesses
- Sights that make visitors go “wow” out loud
Interested? Then get cozy, stay for a while and start reading!
