Originally from Berkeley, California, I just moved to Japan a few days ago. I came here for a few reasons:

I practice Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, so Japan's Sumo and Judo greatly appealed to me. I hope to travel and visit the most famous gyms here, including the Kodokan Judo Institute. I also look forward to seeing part of the Sumo tournament in Tokyo this September!

Another reason I came here was for Japanese culture. I'm a little bit of a history buff, and cannot wait to visit Japan's ancient sites and taste its traditional cuisine.

I'm big on sharing learning experiences with the world, and there's no better place than JapanTravel.com to share photos and stories full of life. This website was immensely useful when I planned my transition to Japan (lodging, tourist sites, etc.) so I look forward to giving back.
