In this episode, I expand on what it means to get off the beaten path in Japan and how you can do so. If you’re wanting to travel solo, with a friend or partner, or your family to Japan this year, avoid the generic and lean into an off the beaten path itinerary. I expand on:
•Where to go and why traveling outside of the "Golden Route" is better for you and supporting Japanese businesses
•When to go as timing is key
•What to do and why leaning into your own interests and desires will have an impact on your travel experience
•Some surprising food facts you might not know about Japan
