I’ve travelled around Japan whenever work and time have allowed, sometimes staying in one place for a few months and sometimes visiting for just a day.
This page brings together the places I’ve actually explored and written about.

Featured Destinations
Hakone
I explored Hakone by train, bus and on foot, from Hakone-Yumoto and Gora to Lake Ashi and Owakudani.
Takayama
I spent three months in Takayama and ended up exploring the town mostly on foot. My guides cover the Old Town, temples, winter, Hida Folk Village, Takayama Jinya and more.
Hiking in Japan
I got into hiking while living in New Zealand and kept going after I returned to Japan, from Mt Fuji to mountains across Gunma, Nagano and Saitama.
