We are a small team of local residents, photographers, writers, and travel enthusiasts who believe Nakadate is one of Japan’s best-kept secrets. This website was created out of a shared passion to showcase our hometown—not as a postcard, but as a living, breathing place full of stories.
NakadateTravel.jp (or whatever your domain may be) isn’t run by a travel agency or a tourism board. We’re just people who love where we live and want to help others experience its quiet magic. Our goal is to provide honest, heartfelt travel guidance that brings people and cultures together in meaningful ways.
What you’ll find here isn’t a copy-paste travel blog. We walk the paths we recommend. We talk to the shop owners, taste the food, and take the train rides. Every photo, review, and tip on this site is drawn from real experiences.
We also believe in responsible travel. That means respecting the rhythm of local life, supporting family-run businesses, and encouraging visitors to leave only footprints and take only memories. Nakadate may be small, but it’s deeply connected to the land, the seasons, and the people who call it home.
Whether you’re planning your trip, looking for inspiration, or simply want to daydream a little—we’re glad you’re here.
From our town to your screen,
Thank you for visiting. We hope to see you in Nakadate soon.
