A bit about Thetravellingkimono

Thetravellingkimono is an independent site led by Jonathan Langford. We started because we were tired of watered-down advice and wanted a place that tells it straight about cultural travel japan.

How it began

Too much writing about cultural travel japan is thin or salesy. We set out to do the opposite: specific, tested and honest.
