🇯🇵 36 Japan Tips That Would’ve Saved Us So Much Confusion
Back with more Japan tips — courtesy of our many small mistakes 😂Let’s be honest: traveling to Japan is incredible… but also a full-on culture shock. Between the futuristic trains, completely foreign language, unspoken social rules, and customs that are completely different from anywhere else we’ve traveled, visiting Japan can be overwhelming, even for experienced travelers. On our first trip, we made so many small mistakes. We got confused by train systems (and missed our train), broke dining etiquette without realizing it, got mysteriously turned away from a few places, and definitely had a few “huh… we’re doing this wrong” moments. So we turned our missteps into a guide to help our readers!We’ve compiled 36 essential Japan travel tips covering everything we wish someone had told us beforehand: from transportation hacks, essential apps, cultural do’s and don’ts, to dining etiquette, local customs, and common mistakes tourists make without even realizing it. If Japan is on your radar (or already booked), this guide will save you a ton of confusion and stress! 👉 Read our full guide:

We’re particularly excited about this one because the landscapes and culture are incredible. It’s remote, it’s desert, and it’s actually where they filmed many movies, including Gladiator, Lawrence of Arabia, and Game of Thrones. Can you guess where that is? :) Also, last week, one of our readers asked us a really interesting question, and now that I think about it, we’ve...
This past week, we got to return to Andalusia, Spain, including Seville, Ronda, and Granada. This region was actually the first part of Europe we visited, but that was over 10 years ago. And walking through the stunning Alcazar and Casa Pilatos, it made us realize how much differently we see the world now, 10 years older. We appreciate the history and architecture so much more, the stories behind it, and could sit there just marvelling at the ambiance. It’s funny how the 10-year-younger...
