Travel Deeper - Japan

  • After spending almost four months living and traveling around Japan, I am now perhaps even more lost than I was at the beginning.
    The problem with travel is, the more you learn and discover, you realize the less you actually know.
    As soon as I think I have Japan figured out… a new door opens.
    The only solution I’ve ever known for this uncomfortable position is to just absorb as much as possible - like tofu in a big bowl of Chanko Nabe - the goal is to take in substance and gain perspective.
    New flavors change what I thought I knew about Japanese food. I see the process of sushi auctioned, packaged, prepared and presented. I see the amount care put into each bowl of soup. I see the precision taken by every day cooks - my palette evolves.
    New adventures change what I thought I knew about Japanese culture. From the snow-capped mountains of Nozawa to the tropical waters of Ishigaki - My outlook widens.
    And new relationships change what I thought I knew about Japanese people. As it has been with every other chapter in this life, what determines a viewpoint more than anything else - is the people I meet along the way.
    Truth is, the reason I came to Japan was to find a place that was completely out of my element. I was in search of something unique to anything I’ve ever known. And luckily for me… that’s exactly what I found and I am forever shaped by this experience.
