Think You’ve Seen It All in Japan? Think Again!


Hey, Wanderers!

You know what always stresses me out about travel planning? Trying to come up with a solid list of “must-see” spots. I mean, how do I even know what those are? What if I miss something amazing? 😅

That’s where a bucket list comes in! It’s a simple (but super useful) tool: a list of places to visit or things to do before you “kick the bucket” (aka leave life behind).

For travel, it helps me figure out exactly what I want to see, what I can skip, and what to save for next time. No more stressing over what to do—just ticking off awesome experiences!

So, I’ve put together not one, but TWO printable Japan Travel Bucket Lists for you! 🎉

✨ The first list is perfect if you’re new to Japan (or only had a short visit) and want to hit all the classic must-see spots.

✨ The second is a “Hard Mode” version packed with unique and offbeat ideas for those of you who’ve already been to Japan and are ready for something fresh and exciting.

Bonus: Both lists come with a large print version, so no squinting necessary! 👓

👉 Click here to grab your bucket list now!

I can’t wait to hear what you’ll check off first! What’s the top thing on your Japan bucket list? Hit reply and let me know—I’d love to hear your plans!

Happy Wandering,

Hey, Wanderers! I got some new glasses here in Da Nang the other day! It's been a shocking five years since my last pair, and it was definitely time to get some new ones because they were getting so worn out I was worried they'd fall apart at any moment. I got a recommendation for a local place here and, after messaging them on Facebook to confirm that they had an English-speaking optometrist available, I went in for my exam. It was a very nice experience, actually! The staff were super...

Welcome to the Japan edition of JGW's Nomad Notes newsletter! This is a once-a-month special edition focused on travel in Japan. It comes out the first Monday of every month. This month's topic is: the Mozu Tombs of Sakai! Hi Reader, If you’re into ancient history, or just curious about Japan’s history specifically, I’ve got a great recommendation for you. During my last trip to Japan, I visited the Mozu Tombs in Sakai, an UNESCO World Heritage Site just outside of the urban sprawl of Osaka....

Hey there, Wanderers! So I've been traveling full-time for about 2.5 years now. There's lots of great things about traveling (which is why I keep doing it) but there's also some downsides. Like, eventually I end up missing certain things about home! It's not being homesick, necessarily, it's more missing the familiar. Just a little. One of the things that I miss most about the US (my home country) is the food. I'm not even talking about fast food or certain restaurants: I mean stuff like...
