My name is Rob Dyer.

I was born in England and have been exploring Japan since 2000. In 2001 I married my Japanese wife in a traditional ceremony in a Shinto Shrine.

My wife and I split our time between Japan and the UK.

As The Real Japan, I share inspiration and resources for discovering and exploring Japan beyond the cliches - The Real Japan. I have a passion for those off-the-beaten track places and I love to share my experiences.

If you're really serious about discovering and exploring The Real Japan, I've personally put together a free guide to Amazing Adventures in Japan that you really need to get a copy of. In that guide I cover 5 (actually there's 6 - but don't tell anyone!) unforgettable adventures in Japan, spanning the northern most and coldest island of Hokkaido, through the main island of Honshu, and down to the sub-tropical southern island of Okinawa. What's more, 2 of those amazing adventures are completely free - so won't cost you a penny!
