What happens when you skip Tokyo 🇯🇵✨️ S What happens when you skip Tokyo 🇯🇵✨️

Skipped Tokyo this time and wandered somewhere quieter — a place filled with old streets, rivers, and peaceful shrines. It turned out to be one of my favourite day trips from my summer in Japan. ✨

If you’ve been dreaming of exploring beyond the usual cities, I’ve put together my 3-week Japan itinerary — a guide to hidden gems, lesser-known towns, and scenic day trips that capture Japan’s slower side.

💌 Comment “itinerary” below and I’ll send you the full guide with Google Map links, local tips, and booking links for activities.

✨ Should you skip these places in Japan? 🌿🎏🇯🇵 

When I look back on my four trips to Japan, the moments that stand out most aren’t from the cities but from the times I explored lesser-known areas. 

The quiet trails, the slower pace, the natural landscapes—it’s such a contrast to the neon lights, skyscrapers, and crowded streets that many first-time travellers picture when they think of Japan. While Tokyo and Osaka are all incredible in their own right, stepping beyond them opened up an entirely different side of the country that I’ll always treasure.

This past summer, I had the chance to visit some of those places, and it reminded me just how much beauty there is waiting beyond the well-worn paths.

📌 Comment ‘itinerary’ and I’ll send you my three-week Japan travel itinerary. 

💭 Have you visited any of these places in Japan? 

📍places in Japan featured in the carousel:

✨  Shirakawago, a UNESCO World Heritage village with traditional thatched farmhouses

🚶🏻‍♀️ Kurama-dera, a scenic day trip in Kyoto known for its forested hiking trails 

🌿 Kurashiki, a picturesque merchant district lined with willow trees. 

🎏 Tranquil garden spot in Fukuoka

Since it’s World Teacher’s Day, I thought it’d be the perfect time to share a little throwback to my year teaching in South Korea. 🇰🇷

It was actually one of my first jobs after leaving university, which was both exciting and nerve-wracking, especially with the move abroad. Teaching English at an elementary school turned out to be one of the most rewarding and challenging experiences I’ve ever had.

If you’ve ever thought about teaching TEFL in Korea at a public school, here are a few things to know:

👩🏻‍🏫 You must be a citizen of a native English-speaking country

🙇🏻‍♀️ A Bachelor’s degree (in any field) is required

📌 A TEFL certificate is needed unless your degree is in education

🇰🇷 Knowing Korean isn’t mandatory, but learning the basics helps a lot

🏠 Housing is provided by the Office of Education (you’ll cover utilities & maintenance)

🛬 You get 26 paid vacation days + national holidays

💭 Would you ever consider teaching abroad?

🔗 I’ve put together a free guide for anyone interested in finding a TEFL job in Korea. Comment ‘GUIDE’ and I’ll send it to you.
