Julian was drawn to Japan from his first visit but he wasn't planning to move there until he met his Japanese wife here in the UK. He's been living in Tokyo for nearly four years now and became a full-time feelancer in the process. We talked about why learning Japanese dad jokes will be useful on your next trip to Japan, his favourite places to visit in spring, and a park in Tokyo all couples should stay away from.

A family holiday to Japan made Emma feel like anything is possible, even moving to Japan! That’s where she started filming her experiences and sharing them on her YouTube channel ‘Tokidoki Traveller'! We had a chat about her favourite onsen host springs and unexpected theme parks she was absolutely charmed by.

Victor's first visit to Japan made him fall in love with the countryside and culture so his move to Japan three years later didn't come as a surprise. He doesn't shy away from adventure: last year Victor walked the 319 miles long Tokaido road historically the main walking trail connecting Edo (Tokyo) and Kyoto! We had a quick chat about this impressive feat, his passion for climbing Mt. Fuji, and street photography.

Chris moved to Japan in search of a change from his life in the UK and Tokyo delivered with what he calls a “A Disney remake of Blade Runner”. Together with the fellow enterpreneur Greg Lane, he created the popular website Tokyo Cheapo with tips for tackling the bustling metropolis on a budget. We had a chat about the various projects he's involved with, how to be cheap and smart on a Japan holiday, and his favourite place to visit!
