About The Navigatio

Hello! And welcome to The Navigatio. My name is Nele (Nay-la) and I LOVE JAPAN. It’s my favourite destination to visit and even though I’m based in the UK, my partner and I try to visit at least once a year (we’re currently planning a 3-month Japan trip!).

Having planned my fair share of Japan trips (for both myself and for friends/family), I know it can be overwhelming. That’s why I’ve created The Navigatio – on it, you can find handy guides to everything Japan.

From free itineraries, accommodation guides and general tips for visiting Japan, we’ve got your back. We do our very best to keep all guides up to date with the help of our writers in Japan, we make sure you get the best insider up-to-date information for your next trip to Japan.
