Wander Japan With Me

Welcome to Japan!!

Maybe you’ve been to Japan many times or maybe you dream of coming to Japan in the future. I’m here to give you insight on travel, culture, life in Japan, and so much more.

Hi, everyone. I am a Cheyenne and have lived in Japan for nearly a decade. I have worked in business (specifically tech and startups/small business) for over 15 years. When I’m not working, I’m usually traveling, cooking, or eating. I studied Japanese history in graduate school, so I’m definitely a castle and museum nerd. One of my favorite things to do is find hidden gems throughout Japan but especially in rural areas or those off the Golden Route. Here you’ll find information to help you plan trips or give insight if you are moving to Japan yourself. Join me on my adventures of everyday life in Japan.
