Welcome to OSANPO TIME!

Hailing from both Kobe/Tokyo, Japan and Los Angeles, CA, we (husband and wife) began this site not as a "how to" travel guide for Japan, but rather, to provide a sort of local's take on things to do around the country. We try and get to The Land of the Rising Sun at least twice, if not three times a year, to spend our time with friends and family, and try to go to one new place during each trip. 

We love food, shopping (for cute and interesting things), and love Japan. Our hope is that you enjoy our "osanpo time" (means taking a walk) as much as we do!
