Japan

Where Princess Mononoke Lives

I’ll be honest: The Princess Mononoke forest was never high on my Japan bucket list, certainly not the first time I visited Yakushima island.

It’s easy to create a Tokyo itinerary that lasts three days—or even less.

There’s no one-right-way to construct a Matsumoto itinerary—and no correct number of days to spend here.

Tokyo is actually many different destinations in one.

Nagasaki is more than meets the eye.

Kagoshima is an underrated and almost wholly un-explored destination, but don’t let that deter you from coming.

It can be difficult to find a Kumamoto itinerary online at all, let alone a good one.

Fukuoka, for whatever else you can say about it, is anything but forgettable.
