We spent seven years exploring Japan. This is everything we'd tell a friend.
Most Japan guides hand you a list and wish you luck. This one is built the way we actually explore: on foot, one neighborhood at a time, with the good coffee marked and the tourist traps left out. We've lived in Tokyo since 2019 and photographed our way across the country.
What started as recommendations for visiting friends became 207 pages of the places we'd genuinely send them to. It reads more like a visual planner than a book. Every day is already grouped by neighborhood, so you wake up, open the day, and go.
Numbers you can trust, counted page by page.
383 hand-picked places
Places across Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka, each one somewhere we'd actually go. Organized into 46 neighborhoods and destinations, not a flat list to sort through yourself.
141 original photographs
Every photo shot by us across the country, so you can see a place before you decide to spend a morning there.
100+ cafés & restaurants
The food and coffee we still return to ourselves, from Tokyo izakaya to Kyoto counters to Osaka street food. Not the tourist queues that just rank well online.
6 day trips, plus Nara
Mt. Fuji, Kamakura, Hakone, Mt. Takao, Yokohama, and Kawagoe from Tokyo, each planned end to end, plus a full day in Nara. Routes and timing already worked out.
Interactive Google Maps
One desktop map and three mobile lists with every one of the 383 spots pinned, so you can navigate the whole route from your phone.
Instant PDF, 207 pages
The full guide delivered the moment you buy. On your phone offline, ready before you fly, with a transport guide and a what-to-book-in-advance page so nothing sells out on you.
Planning Japan can feel like a second job.
Fifty browser tabs, a hundred saved videos, a map full of pins you'll never sort through. This guide does the sorting. Every day is grouped by neighborhood into 21 ready-to-follow days, so you're never crossing the city twice or wondering if you missed something.
Two photographers, one very long list.
We're Miri and Damien. We met at university in Florida, moved to Tokyo in 2019, and became the friends everyone messages before their trip.
This guide is that answer, written down. Everything in it is built from living here and from our own two cameras. No borrowed lists, just the Japan we actually know.
