Hello! My name is John, a university teacher, editor, and writer. I am a roving American who has finally settled down by spending the past 20 years in the Kansai region of Japan. I’ve been to almost every prefecture, and I’m excited to share all the different ways you can discover Japan’s natural wonders and culinary delights, be it by high-speed train, long-distance ferry, bicycle, or even on foot!
“I appreciate the fascinating mix of silence and noise in Japan. I love how I can enjoy the tranquility of a temple or shrine during the day, but then head to a night game at Koshien Stadium and scream my lungs out with over 40,000 other euphoric Hanshin Tigers fans.”
