ABOUT THE TOUR
日本語

Two travel bloggers traversed the country while posting daily blogs about their experiences. One started in the north and the other in the south to meet in the center one month down the road.

Along the way, daily walks were held in which the bloggers were joined by tourists and locals.

The next We Love Japan Tour is planned for 2015.
