I come from Sydney, Australia and first came to Japan in April 1994, on a Working Holiday visa. Before coming to Japan, I was not really interested in the country due mainly to the lack of information about the country, other than the cars and electrical goods it produces and exports all over the world.

It was the last country I could get a Working Holiday visa before I turned 30.

Before Japan, I spent two years working in Europe teaching Skiing in Austria, and worked as a Beach Lifeguard in Cornwall UK and a waiter in Canada.

I think as I had no desire to come to Japan, I am a good person to recommend Japan as a destination, as I understand what people are worried about when visiting the country, such as a lack of information in English. That is what this project at JapanTourist is for, and this is a good way to help people be informed of the type of travelling you can expect, and to make the most of the land of the rising sun, especially in Hokkaido, the “Wilderness of Japan.”.
