travel · field-tested japan
japan, from someone who lives here.
these aren't listicle itineraries. every place below is somewhere i've shot, stayed, and eaten my way through. guides get written as the trips happen.
the places
kyoto
temples without the crowds, the matcha that's actually worth it, and where to stay, from a hotel collab shoot spent walking the city.
get the kyoto guide →okinawa
itoman fish markets, island light, and the south nobody flies past narita to see. shot on a press trip along the coast.
nishio
the small aichi city that grows the matcha kyoto gets famous for. tea fields, factories, and quiet streets.
minakami · gunma
a riverside kominka that sleeps sixteen, mixed onsen etiquette, and why this is the group-trip prefecture.
kamakura
the easiest great day out of tokyo. the big buddha, the coastal line, done in one loop.
new guides drop through the letter first. okinawa and minakami are in the queue.
