2016/05/13 - Goodbye and Farewell
After almost 9 years as a staff writer and editor at japan-guide, I'm afraid that it is time for my family and I to move on. This summer we will be heading to the US so my daughter can attend school. I will be sad to leave such a dynamic and fun company, but I'm fortunate to have been able to spent my time here experiencing the full breadth that Japan has to offer. It really is a great place to explore - tons to do and experience, amazing hospitality, and not as expensive as you might think - and I hope that the work that we have put into the site has helped people with their travels.
I'd like to leave with some parting advice, however I think that Francois put it down better than I could have in his final post. So I'll just recap this one point: it's all too easy to rush through Japan on a whirlwind tour trying to see everything you can. Don't forget to take it slow every once in awhile, whether that means stopping by an onsen, staying overnight at a ryokan or just enjoying a drink at a nice cafe, and take some time to relax and take it all in.
The future of japan-guide looks exciting and there are some incredibly interesting projects on the horizon. I wish I could continue to be a part of them, but for now I'll have to be content with following along from home. Happy travels guys, and keep up the good work!
-Scott
