Why Uncharted Japan
I’m John Haynes and my wife, Josephine is the fourth generation in her family to have been born in Japan with her great, great-grandparents having arrived in September 1861 from New York only a few years after Japan opened to the west. Her ancestors served as missionaries there when Ronin (former Samurai) still roamed the countryside. It was very much unlike today’s Japan. Therefore her family has a very long history retaining many contacts and the family still keeps the family home there north of Nagano. No one of whom I’m aware in the Japan travel community online or on Youtube has such a background. We both love Japan and enjoy sharing our experience with others. Read on to learn more.
