About the blog

Welcome to 9 to Fly—a travel blog created by a foreigner-couple living and working the 9 to 5 life in Japan. From weekend escapes to long holidays, we explore the country like locals do, uncovering cultural nuances, hidden gems, and underrated experiences that most tourists miss.

Whether you’re planning your first trip to Japan or coming back for more, this blog is packed with detailed itineraries, budget tips, off-the-beaten-path destinations, vegan-friendly eats, and real cultural insights. We’ve hiked quiet mountain trails, slurped through secret ramen spots, and navigated Japan’s transport like pros—so you don’t have to stress.

With every post, we aim to make your Japan travel smarter, deeper, and more meaningful. Let’s explore Japan beyond the clichés—one unforgettable adventure at a time.
