@Peter Juhl that's exciting Peter! Will it be Greece and then another spot in Europe?

@Gentria Wittlehurts Hi Gentria, how's your Japan trip planning going?
Let me introduce myself
Hello Josuha, I have just joined this community and i am looking forward to learning more about Japan. I am a fulltime artist from Australia and my plans to travel to Japan will start in 2027 due to current commitments here in OZ, i am searching for artist residencies and would love to visit the Fox Village. any suggestions or areas to look at would be most appreciated😄

Awesome to meet you Lynette! It's awesome to hear that you will be travelling to Japan in early 2027 (Also, Im originally from Australia (Sydney) before I started travelling around Japan and now live here! Theres so many amazing art places for artists this see in Japan but a really unique place I would say is the Pottery Walk in Tokoname in Aichi (my hometown in Japan)!
🚗🌻Kyoto, Osaka & Kobe Trip💓🤗
We recently took a trip through Osaka, Kyoto, and Kobe, and each place brought a completely different vibe: Osaka, Kyoto, or Kobe, which vibe are you choosing? 👇 1️⃣ Peaceful matcha tasting in Uji, Kyoto 🍵 2️⃣ Delicious local okonomiyaki in Osaka 🥢 3️⃣ Scenic ropeway views & herb gardens in Kobe 🚡 Have you visited any of these places yet, or is one of them on your travel list? Let me know!

Ic card
Hello, I will be in Osaka in december and I will do dome day trips in Kyoto & Nara. I have not understand if I can you my contactless phone on su est/trains/buses or if it’s better to have suica. Can you help me? 😊

Hi Daniela, December is really soon! We highly recommend joining our more advanced Japan Travel Academy, but to answer your question I HIGHLY recommend getting a Suica card (physical or on your iPhone wallet app) but there will be times where you will have no issues using your Mastercard/Visa to buy Shinkansen/Bus tickets but its really convenient to have an IC Card (Pasmo, Suica, etc). Hope this helps! Btw Daniela be sure to join our Japan Travel Academy-> www.skool.com/japan/about Inside me and my Japanese partner can build you an entire personalised itinerary with you! Also you get to learn essential Japanese phrases so you can visit less expensive touristy areas and more local hidden gems! Is there any other questions you have regarding your December trip to Osaka Daniela? 🤔
15 Ways Tourists Waste Money in Japan 2026
If this is your first trip to Japan and you’re trying to plan it without blowing the budget, this video is for you. Most first-timers lose $1000+ USD on the same avoidable things: - Buying the JR Pass - overpriced tourist spots, - Hotels in Shinjuku/Shibuya - Animal cafes in Harajuku, - and expensive airport taxis Just to name a few I broke down the 15 most common money mistakes people make while planning and during their first trip and exactly what to do instead so you keep more money for the food and experiences that actually matter. Watch it and comment which part of your trip you’re most worried about right now. (flights, transport, food, or activities). Me and Momoka will help you get it sorted. — Joshua & Momoka🌸
