Colorful street markets, pristine wilderness, the buzz and hum of modern cities and the heartwarming smile of a new friend in a strange land. Whether it's a tale of rough-and-ready adventure, tips on how to get around from someone who knows, or an exquisite landscape painted with words, AkasaMedia offers quality travel articles from around the globe. Since AkasaMedia's based in Japan, this country is especially well covered, but AkasaMedia offers fine photographs and writing on many other countries as well, including: Brazil, Burma, Cambodia, Canada, Ecuador (mainland and the Galapagos isles), Egypt, Indonesia, Jordan, Mexico (Yucatan), Peru, South Africa, Thailand, Turkey (Istanbul) and the United States. Writer and photographer Catherine Pawasarat isn't just a tourist with a pen. She's lived in Madrid, Kyoto, and the Brazilian Amazon, and speaks fluent Japanese, Spanish and Portuguese, plus survival French. She's comfortable talking to high-ranking government officials, locals in the outback, and everyone in between. On this website's travel page you'll now find articles on Japan, though other articles and a photographic gallery are being added. Please contact AkasaMedia to commission articles on Japan or any of the above countries. Easy Streets: Ocean breezes, smiling faces, exotic markets, and a laid-back pace make for Japanese-style relaxation on the shores of the Noto Peninsula. As seen in Tokyo's Metropolis magazine. NEW!
