About me! Hey there, I'm Kim, and I've been on a captivating journey through Japan for over 5 incredible years. Along the way, I've uncovered hidden gems and ventured off the beaten path, and now I'm eager to share these unforgettable experiences with fellow travelers. My mission? To reveal the lesser-known, enchanting facets of Japan. If you're someone who shares my love for nature – whether it's the soothing embrace of the ocean waves or the exhilarating heights of mountain peaks – you're in for an extraordinary adventure. This trip isn't just about sightseeing; it's an opportunity to immerse yourself in the heart of Japan's local culture. We'll dive into island life, savoring every moment, and creating memories that will last a lifetime. So, if you're up for island escapades, a deep dive into local traditions, and simply enjoying life to the fullest, join me on this journey. Let's craft the best experiences and cherished memories together in this incredible land.

Details about the accommodation: While exploring these islands, it's important to keep in mind that some of them are relatively small, and as a result, the accommodations may not always be luxurious. During our journey, we'll experience a mix of lodging options, ranging from cozy hostels with shared bunk-bed rooms to comfortable hotels offering private rooms. For those seeking an even more immersive adventure, we can also consider camping on certain days. As a group, we'll have the opportunity to discuss our preferences and comfort levels, allowing us to tailor our lodging choices to suit everyone's preferences. If you have any questions keep me posted in the Q&A section!
