Who knows about Japan best? Absolutely, it’s “Locals”.

Tired of Shibuya, Dotonbori, and Disneyland? How about a hidden hot spring town, or a secret waterfall in big city?

Go to Japan let you immerse in local Japanese attractions and the hidden charms of this unique country.

Oops, let me introduce myself first💦

My name is Yinglong Guan. I’m a local Japanese and travel-much-lover.

I have traveled more than 15 countries, and now I’m sharing the incredible spots in Japan that international visitors will surely be enchanted with.

Through my travels abroad, I realized that Japan has many unrevealed places just as unique and captivating as the world’s most famous tourist destinations.

Now, discovering and sharing such places has become my “ikigai“.

Go to Japan only publish information which I and other travelers have truly seen with our own eyes.

We reveal not only the hidden gems loved by locals, but also give honest impressions of the famous landmarks, without bias or compromise.

However, this site will always remain unfinished. Why?

Because it is built together with you.

Here, you don’t just read about places — you can introduce the spots you loved yourself and leave your own travel experiences.

Let’s create a brand-new map of Japan, together!
