About Us


Thank you for visiting my blog

Japan Australia is a blog dedicated to Japan travel and culture. It contains useful tips and advice for living or traveling in Japan and is an insight into life in modern Japan. Please follow me on my adventures in Japan.

This blog began in December 2009 as a place to chronicle my adventures and experiences in Japan.

A little about me:

I'm an Australian from the Mornington Peninsula area near Melbourne in Australia. I have lived in Japan for over 16 years now in Gifu in the heart of Japan. I have been lucky to have traveled all over Japan and have been studying Japanese since my University days in Australia.

My Japan Story:

My first contact with Japan was back in Primary school when I studied karate. It was my first expose to the Japanese language and culture. My interest in Japan grew further in university where I majored in Japanese as part of my business degree. I found that by studying the language and culture, I developed a deep interest in Japan and eagerly wanted to visit Japan.

Why did I start this blog?

This blog was started to share some of my experiences about Japan after I returned home to Australia after 10 years of living and working in Japan. The blog began in December 2009 as a place to chronicle my experiences in Japan, and hopefully pass on some helpful information and tips to anyone interested in visiting the land of the rising sun. I have since moved back to Japan in 2013 to continue my passion of exploring this amazing country.
