Locals

In the Locals section, we will introduce Japan as portrayed by its people.

Have you ever chosen a travel destination based on people? Deciding to visit a place to meet someone after being inspired by their story might be a new style of travel for you. At any travel destination, there are experiences that you'll feel deeply: scenery that tugs at your heartstrings, art that touches your soul, addictive food. Who, though, was involved in the creation of those experiences?

“That person made the trip extra interesting.” “I’d like to go somewhere with that person again.” Have you ever met someone during your travels who left this sort of impression? The Locals page has a variety of authentic stories from people who know all about the best spots and things to experience in the areas they live in.

Rather than just simple tourist spots, sightseeing can feature the people in the area too. Why not try choosing your next destination based on the people you want to meet?
