I’ve personally been using Rurubu since 2003, back when car navigation systems were still new and many roads weren’t even mapped. It still amazes me that Rurubu has been around since 1973, and that it has grown into Japan’s most iconic travel-guide brand.

Rurubu — whose name comes from “see, eat, play” — has always been a trusted source for domestic travel. Over the years, it has expanded into countless guidebooks, a digital platform, and even special collaboration products. For example, the Rurubu × Hachi Collaboration Series includes regional specialties like the Shinshu Mushroom Curry, made with local ingredients such as bunashimeji mushrooms, milk, and apple juice from Nagano.

When I first moved to Japan, I spent years exploring the backcountry and camping deep in the wilderness. We used to go onsen-hopping every day and enjoy gourmet ramen and other memorable meals. Rurubu’s detailed maps, recommendations, and regional highlights made planning our itineraries incredibly easy, and every trip turned into an epic adventure.

I’ve always been a big fan of this travel magazine. It has shaped so many of my travels and taught me so much about Japan and its hidden treasures.

During the Edo Period, Narai (奈良井) marked the half way point between Kyoto and Edo to travelers along the Nakasendo Route. It was the most wealthy post town of the Kiso Valley, and was sometimes referred to as "Narai of a Thousand Houses". Visitors will understand this nickname when comparing Narai to the other former post towns in the area; the preserved houses stretch on much longer in Narai than elsewhere.

Last month I went to this lovely small town. Sadly the light was a little bit harsh.

Naoshima Art Site "We live our lives amidst the rules and conventions of society. We clearly have a social and communal existence. At the same time we have a changeable and selfish existence in which hides lunacy and violence. We live out life creating a balance between the communal and the individual. Art gives us a glimpse of the lunacy, the alienation and the black hole that exists inside ourselves, At that moment, art becomes the trigger by which we question the social norms, value and common sense that we previously commonly held and subjugated. But this sort of critical power is not the only effect of art. Art exists in the rocker arm of creating values from these sorts of critical powers. It comes and goes between the individual and society." 🙏 #日本 #wanderjapan #travelphotography #adventureculture #adventurevisuals #magicmoments #zen #meditationspot #traveljapan #naoshima #naoshimaisland #直島 #benessehouse #benessehousemuseum #islandlife #modernartmuseum (at Benesse House Art Site Naoshima)
