About Us
Welcome to Visit to Japan, your ultimate digital companion for unlocking the wonders of the Land of the Rising Sun. Whether you’re a seasoned traveler chasing cherry blossoms in Kyoto or a curious armchair explorer dreaming of Tokyo’s neon-lit streets, our blog is here to inspire, inform, and immerse you in Japan’s timeless allure.
Founded in 2023 by a group of Japan enthusiasts—led by avid traveler and cultural storyteller Mia Tanaka, who grew up between Seattle and Osaka—Visit to Japan was born from a simple passion: sharing the soul of Japan with the world. After years of wandering from Hokkaido’s lavender fields to Okinawa’s turquoise shores, we realized that while guidebooks offer itineraries, it’s the stories, hidden gems, and heartfelt moments that truly connect us to a place. That’s why we created this space—not just a blog, but a virtual ryokan where every post feels like a warm cup of matcha shared with a friend.
Our Mission
At Visit to Japan, we believe travel is more than ticking off landmarks; it’s about weaving yourself into the fabric of a culture. We demystify Japan for all—first-timers navigating bullet trains, families seeking kid-friendly onsen adventures, or foodies hunting street-side ramen stalls. Our content celebrates the harmony of tradition and innovation: from ancient tea ceremonies and Shinto festivals to cutting-edge anime conventions and sustainable eco-tours.
We prioritize authentic, respectful exploration, highlighting local voices and off-the-beaten-path experiences to ensure your journey honors Japan’s spirit of omotenashi (heartfelt hospitality).
