    Discovering Japan: Yamagata

In an effort to save the tourism and economic recovery here in Japan, the “Go-To-Travel Campaign” was introduced in late July. The campaign is confusing to many, even myself, but I’ll run through…

    Discovering Japan: Hokkaido

    First off, let’s talk about priorities : FOOD If you have not tried Hokkaido milk from the local supermarkets (supa), you are really in for a treat.

    Discovering Japan: An introduction

    Japan. A country many adore, a culture many are intrigued by, and a travel destination many dream of. A journey many save up for.
