Welcome

"Japan is, for me, the most fascinating country in the world. Since 2004, I’ve visited nearly every year to explore its unique culture, history, cities, and nature. This website is my love letter to Japan.
In 2006, I moved to Yokohama for a year, knowing no Japanese. I soon realised a lifetime isn’t enough to see all of Japan, but I tried :) Join me on my journeys from Yakushima Island to the Hakone area with views of Mt. Fuji. Explore with me the secrets of the Gion district in Kyoto, the metropolis of Tokyo, and more. Contact us at info(@)japan365days.com. We welcome business inquiries (advertising for hotels and ryokans, affiliate partnerships). Thanks to our partners GetYourGuide (activities), klook (activities), Expedia (hotels and ryokans), and Japan Rail Pass for our growth."
