“This is so cool!
Are you currently living in England or Japan? Have you lived in Japan before? If so, where?
And can I ask you 900 more questions?”

My name is Rob Dyer and I have been exploring Japan since 2000, and yet I still feel like I have only seen the tip of the iceberg of this amazing country.
Think of me as your virtual Japan travel buddy.
Here and in my Japan Travel Bulletin you’ll find me sharing information, tips and resources all about travelling across Japan – hopefully inspiring you explore more of Japan, away from the crowds.
My wife is Japanese and we were married in a Shinto ceremony in Japan. We now split our time between Japan and England – my home country.
I started The Real Japan to share my passion for travelling in Japan. The hidden Japan. The Japan beyond the hype, beyond the clichés. The Real Japan.
