Real Japan Guides From Someone Who Actually Lives Here

fly-jpn was built out of frustration. After 15+ years living in Osaka, I kept watching people arrive in Japan armed with outdated blog posts, tourist-trap advice, and zero idea what daily life actually looks like.

So I built the site I wish had existed.

Every guide on fly-jpn is written from the perspective of someone who lives here — not someone who visited for two weeks. That means real information about visas, healthcare, cost of living, the best konbini strategy, and what cherry blossom season is actually like when you’re not staying in a 5-star hotel.

What You’ll Find Here

• Living in Japan as a Foreigner — visas, housing, healthcare, banking, daily life
• Japan Travel Guide — itineraries, transport, when to go, what to bring
• Japanese Culture & Traditions — festivals, etiquette, food, the unwritten rules

No sponsored content. No filler. Just the information that actually matters.
