About

Rustic Japan is a travel journal written by the Rustic Japan Editorial Team, based in Japan. We write mainly about places we have actually been to and inns we have actually stayed at.

The articles are written in Japanese first. This English edition is translated with the help of AI, so a few expressions may read a little differently from the original.

About us

We travel about once a month, with no fixed theme. So far that has included remote islands such as Aogashima, Hachijojima, and Sado; hot spring towns such as Naruko Onsen and Shibu Onsen; cities such as Fukuoka and Osaka; and trips abroad to the Philippines, Laos, and Malaysia. Inland towns and countries outside Asia are on the list too.

How we write

• Every inn we review is one we stayed at
• Prices and opening hours are as of the time of writing. The last updated date is shown at the top of each article
• Articles with affiliate links say so before the main text
