Personally Approved Japan Map


A map of Japan with various icons indicating travel and activity locations, such as hot springs, ski resorts, and scenic spots, along with thumbnail images of outdoor landscapes, indoor spaces, and mountain scenes at the bottom.

Every pin is a place I have visited and would send a friend.

This page connects you to my Rexby guide and map. It is a selective list. I only include places I have been to and that I personally stand behind. Small and focused beats big and noisy.
