I'm a navy wife of two years and I moved to Japan in 2014. I’m an assistant language teacher in Tokyo by day and a blogger/writer by night. I am currently exploring film photography and love window shopping for anything hippie.
Fun Flying Four is a blog dedicated to our adventures while living in Okinawa … with two young kids in tow. Originally from New Zealand and now living in Okinawa with my Air Force husband and two young daughters. We love to explore Okinawa as much as we can, and when possible we love to travel around Asia.
The Nagano Prefecture Official Tourism Guide. Climb the Japanese Alps, soak in a hot spring, frolic with snow monkeys, slurp soba noodles, timewarp to the feudal past, or schuss through powder snow. Start your exploring here!
An unofficial blog in English about Funassyi, the equally unofficial mascot of Funabashi, Chiba. While not affiliated with Funassyi in any way, if you want to keep up with the jet-setting anthropomorphic pear, this is the place to go. The site is maintained by Makiko Itoh, who has been writing about Japanese food and culture for more than a decade. A die-hard Funassyi fan, she believes Funassyi is poised to “go global.”
Just Bento is dedicated to the subject of healthy, simple bento lunches, some traditionally Japanese, some not so traditional. The focus is on bento for health- and weight-conscious adults, but many of the recipes and methods are applicable to bento for all ages. Established in October 2007, this is the sister site to Just Hungry, perhaps the best known Japanese recipe blog on the internet.
