Where Are We Going?

There are 47 prefectures in Japan, each with unique sights and attractions!

Thanks for visiting my site!

I'm Kristina, living in Japan since 2016. After language school in Osaka, I moved to Tokyo for work. Overwhelmed by crowds, I started exploring quieter parts of Japan in search of untouched, tranquil spots with fewer or no visitors. At first, I kept these spots secret, but locals revealed responsible tourism could help struggling areas. With traditions fading and historic sites abandoned, responsible tourism became vital.

Now I focus on lesser-known spots to tackle overtourism. I highlight hidden gems, offering unique experiences while supporting local communities. I aim to create a balanced tourism landscape in Japan by showcasing these locations.

I assist Japanese travel organizations and manage PR on my Instagram blog @sugalenin with 200,000 followers.
