25 Things Japan Should Have Proofread

This isn't the first time I have had the urge to comment on the - creative - English waiting to be discovered across Japan, but after over a year in the country I have more to share. Like I said in my earlier post, for some reason I did not expect this from Japan. Much in the same way I didn't

Mount Tsurugi (剱岳, Tsurugidake) is one of the many prize peaks of the Kita Alps (北アルプス), and is also one of Japan's 100 Famous Mountains. The trailhead described here is a bit remote and if you don't have your own transportation, then you're out of luck unless you want to take an expensive taxi

15 Things To Know Before Hiking In Japan

Hiking in Japan can be a lot like hiking elsewhere in the world; except that sometimes it's not. My experience hiking in Japan has taught me a lot about the country and what can be expected when hitting the trail or climbing one of its many famous mountains. Some of what can be found hiking in
