Why I wanted to travel to Japan

I wanted a trip that felt dense, precise, and alive.

Japan has always felt like the place where craft and precision work together. The respect for their tradition while embracing modernization. I want to see that myself and get a better understanding of the country and their culture.

This site is evolving as I build the trip: the routes, places I am considering, and the recommendations friends helped rank before I went. I will release the guide after the trip.
