NThe Nook Japan
Real family travel in rural Japan, by a dad who lives here.

Local finds you won't read in English anywhere else

Tiny places with no website and no English — found through living here, not Googling. Each one is somewhere we actually take our own family.

The first local find is being written.

These are hand-picked from living in Gunma — a real spot, checked in person, with the family details that matter. Worth the wait.
