About
Nihon Tips is a digital magazine exploring life in Japan through a lens of high-contrast minimalism and technical precision. We avoid the typical tourist tropes in favour of a mature, observational perspective.
We cover the intersection of tradition and modernity that defines contemporary Japan. From the quiet rituals of daily life to the technological innovations that shape the future, we document what it means to live in and experience this country.
We believe in writing that observes rather than prescribes. Our coverage brings firsthand experience and genuine curiosity to every piece. No clickbait, no stereotypes, no "hidden gems" that everyone already knows about.
The design of this site reflects our editorial philosophy: stripped back, functional, and focussed on the content. Every element serves a purpose.
Our team lives and works in Japan, experiencing both the density of major cities and the quieter rhythms of regional life. This isn't armchair travel writing. It's documentation from people who navigate these spaces daily.
