Hey I put this together pretty quickly, so please let me know if I missed any orientations, or if I have any definitions wrong, thank you!  

Hey y’all, I see that this has gotten popular again, and I just wanted to let you know that this post is really old and outdated and it leaves out a lot of a-spec orientations that should be included. There’s an updated version of the list here that you can look at.

Thank you for understanding! 

want travel tips for japan?

omotteru:

hey guys! if anyone is interested in travelling to japan, there’s a new travel site called odigo that’s a bit like wikitravel but focused exclusively on japan. it’s new but growing pretty quickly, and there are some more articles here that you might find useful.

i recently wrote and posted an article about train travel and public transportation in japan here because i think it’s more text-friendly than tumblr. i hope it’s helpful to anyone interested in travelling to japan! i cover rail passes (which i love) and how to ride a tram/bus where you pay the driver while getting off (spoilers: you have to pay exact change). because i cover quite a bit i don’t go into a ton of detail but if you’d like to send an ask about something in particular i’d be happy to help if i can! 

if you’d like to sign up using my referral then both of us get points known as odigold ;w; so far i’ve been really enjoying reading the other articles that have been posted, they include trip itineraries and articles about lesser-known places like towns in the tohoku region. 

+ if anyone has suggestions on other articles i could write, please let me know!
