Hello, fellow adventurers! I'm George Nagatsuka, the founder of Discover Xciting Japan.
Originally from New Jersey, US, I fell head over heels for Japan. I've been living the Japanese life for 29 years and have traveled to more places than I care to count - we're talking US, Canada, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Brunei, Australia, Tasmania, New Zealand, Bahrain, Dubai, Pakistan, France, Spain, and Germany to mention a few.
But let's be honest; nothing beats exploring Japan's stunning landscapes, vibrant cities, and rich history and culture.
I've worked in the corporate world and am now an entrepreneur, but my passion has always been sharing Japan's culture and secrets with the world.
So, I teamed up with my partner in crime, Oreo (a Boston Terrier with a heart of gold), and explored Japan's hidden gems and will be continuing our adventure.
This website is your backstage pass to Japan's best-kept secrets. I'll be your guide, introducing you to the locals and businesses and giving you insider tips on making the most of your Japanese adventure.
So, buckle up and get ready for an unforgettable ride. Oreo and I will show you the best of Japan - the food, the sights, and the memories.
