I’m Jenner, a Hispanic American living in Tokyo — again. I first came to Japan in 2013, lived in Kagoshima, then Tokyo, before moving back to the US. I returned to Tokyo in 2026, less interested in checking off famous sights and more interested in the neighborhoods, road trips, and onsen towns that make me want to keep exploring.

Over the years I’ve visited 40 of Japan’s 47 prefectures. This site is where I share the places I’ve actually been — and the ones I’d go back to.
