I am fascinated by the people, culture and volcanic landscape of Japan. We have spent time meandering through the mountains, valleys, villages and farmlands of Japan since the 1990s. We have travelled throughout the country from Hokkaido in the North, to Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu in the South, enveloped by the culture and lifestyle from the snow covered mountains to the awe-inspiring volcanic landscape and rugged coasts.
