I’m not a travel writer, why have I written these travel tips for Japan? My wife is Japanese and although we live in London, every summer we visit our family in Japan. My wife takes the children the moment they break up from school and I join them for 2 weeks at the end of August.
Back in 2016 several colleagues told me they were going to visit Japan and asked if I had any tips. So I wrote a few notes in an email based on my experiences and gradually this blog has grown from that.
Most of my time in Japan is spent in the prefecture of Mie, which is sort of mid-way between Nagoya and Osaka, although I have visited Tokyo and Kyoto a couple of times and every year I try to explore somewhere new.
I hope you find these useful.

Great blog Ian. Full of useful information and good pictures.
Wish I could book a trip to Japan right now.
