About Us

We are a group of people who have been living in Japan for over 20 years, and since our first arrival, we have seen how tourism in the country has changed dramatically. When we first came, Japan was a quiet and little-explored destination, which allowed us to enjoy its authenticity and discover its culture without the rush and crowds. We want every traveler to have that same unique and authentic experience.

That’s why we created No Tourist Japan: a travel guide for those who want to explore genuine Japan, away from the tourist-saturated destinations. Our mission is to show you those places where you can breathe the essence of the country, from hidden temples and traditional villages to corners of nature and remote hot springs, places that remain off the beaten tourist path.

Our page is created based on our extensive experience traveling through Japan. We share with you the practical details and recommendations that we have accumulated over the years, so that you can experience Japan from a different angle. Here you will find suggestions for quiet and unknown places, as well as tips for enjoying the country in a respectful and responsible way.

We want you to enjoy Japan as we have: authentically, peacefully and without rushing. Thank you for joining us on this adventure, and we hope that No Tourist Japan becomes your trusted guide to discovering the most authentic Japan.
