Where We’ve Walked, and Our Japan Travel Stories
Travel changes when you slow down. The places you pass through begin to stay with you, not as landmarks, but as moments. A breeze through cedar trees. Steam rising between stones. The sound of snow underfoot.
This page holds those moments. These are our journeys, not itineraries, but stories. They follow the shape of emotion more than maps, and they unfold in valleys, villages, and quiet paths far from the expected.
Whether you’re dreaming, planning, or simply wandering through our footsteps, you’re welcome here.
Below, you’ll find the places we’ve walked, sometimes by road, sometimes by feeling.
And each one changed us, just a little.
