About JP Travel

Hello! I’m Miki — and welcome to my blog!

Thanks so much for visiting!

I’m a Japanese mom of two boys, currently living in Canada.
I’ve always loved traveling, and even after having kids, I’ve kept exploring — with a stroller in one hand and a travel guide in the other!


What this blog is about

This blog is all about Japan’s hidden gems
places that Japanese locals love, but you won’t find on Tripadvisor or big travel websites.

You’ll find: 📍 Quiet temples and off-the-beaten-path hot springs
🍵 Local cafes and eateries loved by residents
👦 Family-friendly spots perfect for parents and kids

Even simple places can leave lasting memories — and I want to share those with you.


Who this blog is for

  • Travelers looking for something more local and personal
  • Visitors who want to go beyond the usual tourist spots
  • Parents planning a trip to Japan with kids
  • Anyone curious to explore authentic Japan

Let’s make your trip unforgettable

I hope this blog helps you discover places that make you say,
“Wow, I’m so glad I came here.”

If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment or reach out.
Happy travels and thanks for being here! 💕
