chasing cherry blossoms

Chasing Cherry Blossoms documents the life of me, Jim, a 20-something foreigner living in the Japanese countryside. Here you can keep bang up-to-date with my (mis)adventures (as I navigate the places, people and food of Japan), browse through my pictures and hopefully share some thoughts of your own by commenting along!

Hi! My name’s James and I’m currently living the Japanese dream on the JET Programme! I’ve moved from London, a city of millions, to a tiny countryside village of just over 9,000 in the rural south of Ehime prefecture. I’ve been living here for over a year now and have been blogging from pre-departure until the present day!
