Planning a trip to rural Japan can be tricky, especially since each season transforms the best spots—from cherry blossoms to autumn foliage, snowy winters, and summer festivals. With 15 years of experience exploring Japan’s diverse regions, I’ve uncovered hidden gems you won’t find in most guidebooks. I’ve had my share of mishaps, made memorable discoveries, and learned a lot along the way. I’ll help you dive into the authentic, off-the-beaten-path Japan you’re looking for. Book a one-hour call with me, and I’ll share insights, tips, and advice so you can explore with confidence.
