Gaijin Ninja

As you can see, my name is Aspen. I am a 29 year old mother of 4 children. We have a six year old, 3 year old, 2 year old, and a 6 month old baby girl! Clearly, we are super busy! 

After visiting Japan several times and living there for a couple of years, I decided to take it upon myself to help the English Speaking travelers! It can be extremely overwhelming going to Japan for the first time, due to those huge cultural and language barriers.

Hopefully you can use this site as a resource for breaking down some of those walls! The "Getting Started" category has information on just that, getting started :) There you can find traveling tips, see how to use the trains, learn how to get Japanese yen, a couple of forms of navigation, etc. 

Under the "Japan Love Category," you'll find fun and interesting cultural information! These will help you be more aware of certain fun things to do and places to go! 

If you have any questions or need help with trip planning, please feel free to contact me! If you subscribe to my email list, you will receive new content, and the occasional deal on Japan travel :)
