I’ve had a fascination of Japan since I wasfourteen-years-old when I was invited to go to Japan on school exchange. Here,I instantly fell in love with the country and its people. What I found was sofascinating about Japan was the extremity and contrast: modern vs. traditional;complex vs. simple; abiding rules vs. fun and games; suited businessmen vs.costume dressed youth.

Since then, I’ve lived with Japanese forfour years in Australia and travelled and worked in Japan for a year. Ifollowed the snow and the sun, to find some of the most memorable and beautifulplaces in Japan, discovering local festivals, incredible food, and amazingfriends along the way.
