Postcards went out the US, Canada, Australia, Singapore, Thailand, Philippines, Hong Kong, Malaysia, New Zealand, Argentina and a f...

Early access to a winter adventure! I stayed in that iconic building that looks like a scene from a Ghibli movie. 2 years in the making (pre-pandemic) but I completed the mission. 2020 had very little snow. This year — too much! Enjoy! Leave me a comment on the YouTube video ^_^ -John

Just a quick update that Japan Rail, after a month, finally approved a video I shot inside the station. Getting permission was super hard and I didn't think they'd need to review it for 5-6 weeks to make sure I didn't film any private phone numbers, unintentionally film sensitive documents etc. It was done after New Yea...

This is one of the great local train trips in Japan, considered one of the most romantic as the 1 or 2 cars roll through the hills, along the river - very few people. Make you winder why they even built this train line ... here, the local government created a...
