We’re back with a whole new season. In our first episode back, we discuss everything from the wonderful to the wacky of Japan.
You'll hear about an epic art island, specialty coffee and konbini (AKA convenience store food), 100+ year-old businesses, the philosophical ideas that make Japan such a distinct place, and much more.
In our next episode, we get tactical and break down exactly how we would plan a future trip to Japan, in case that's something you've got on the horizon.
