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.
