We always get asked “where are great communities I can meet when I come to Japan?”
So we made it easy and built an app for that ZuCity.org where you can find experiences from all the best communities, coliving, and events across Japan in one place.
Join our app launch event to hear intros intros from communities listed around Japan, upcoming events we’re excited about, and how you can get discounts on tickets and coliving

it’s crazy how much weaker Tokyo sento/onsen goers are compared to rural Japan
mfs can’t last more than 30 mins here meanwhile country siders will be in for a minimum of 4 hours
if ya can’t handle the heat stay out the kitchen

Sometimes Japan really confuses me and things get lost in translation, but make perfect sense once I arrive.
I chose a hotel with lots of hot springs and I emailed the hotel to ask how to get there from the train station. They said, “please do not worry, we have a turtle”.
I was confused.
When we got the pier, it made sense. I knew exactly what to do next. And our yukatas were turtle themed!

My father to my mother: this time difference is really annoying. I understand why you can’t call as much
Me, who always tries to call them but tells them the time difference can make things inconvenient and that’s why I sometimes send them emails and not texts or calls:

One more day of travel to get to the start of our pilgrimage. It would have been 8 hours of trains so we are short cutting via a domestic flight to get to the first temple of the Saigoku Pilgrimage. It’s 33 temples plus 3 additional related ones nearby. Some are easy to get to and some will take a lot of effort but we are excited.
(Also testing all the AI/travel apps) and will report back.)

Black eggs from Owakudani, Hakone, a hot spring resort in Japan. When you boil an egg in a hot spring pond ♨️, it turns black. It seems that a rare monster with magical properties will be born.
