Hidden Gems of Japan

There’s no feeling quite like arriving for your first (or tenth..) time in Japan. This is a guide for anyone who wants to travel off the beaten path. It includes all of my personal favourite hidden places, vegan food, favourite shops and my favorite detailed itineraries! (and a few famous must-visit sites - and tips on how to avoid the crowds...)

At the moment, the guide is covering Tokyo, Kyoto, Kawaguchiko (Mt Fuji), Shikoku, Kiso Valley as well as Shima Onsen in Gunma. I am also reguarly adding new places that I discover and will add more itineraries such as day trips from Tokyo, the Tohoku region, Kansai as well as Kyushu.
