Welcome to EXPLORE JAPAN – EXJ -
Hello everyone! I’m Taka.
EXJ was set up in February 2011, with the sole purpose of providing information that’ll make your travels to Japan a more meaningful one. Other than introducing the Traditional Japanese Cultures and Tourist Attractions, such as the Sakura, Mt.Fuji, Sashimi, etc, this space also features my personal experiences like a good meal in a particular restaurant or an unforgettable stay at a local inn. I’m sure my experiences will serve as good references when you plan your trip to Japan. There’s really a lot of interesting things you can see and do, only in Japan and nowhere else.
While I dedicate my life to learn and share everything about Japan and her cultures, I hope that my personal experiences can help to make your travel to Japan a memorable one. Though the level of my English is not excellent, and there may be times where it’s too difficult to understand my Japanese-English, but I’m most willing to do my best in contributing to this blog so that you will have a meaningful, unforgettable time in Japan.
Traveling brings about many interpersonal relationships with the locals who add colors to your trip and your life. In my travels, I’ve made a lot of friends, regardless of race, language or religion, and they have taught me a lot about life. In return, I hope to pass on this friendship and knowledge through this blog.
If you find this blog or any article in particular, interesting, please share it with your friends on your website, blog, Facebook, Twitter etc. Through this blog, I hope to share the many beautiful Japanese Cultures to the world. It’s interesting and exciting to know how my blog can bring people from all over the world together to Japan. It’s all about you!
It’s my pleasure to be of service to you and I thank you for your continuous support & encouragement to EXJ!
