The Savage Japan Podcast is a series of soundseeing tours, interviews, and personal observations being recorded by an artist/athlete/filmmaker exploring and studying in Japan. The listener becomes a traveling companion and is immersed alongside the host during an extremely diverse series of adventures.
Locations and topics covered include activities in and around mountains, rivers, cities, villages, castles, trains, temples, shrines, museums, martial arts, festivals, food, cultural events of all types & many unusual discoveries, as well as issues involving the challenges faced while studying the language and developing friendships in my favorite foreign country.
The Living in Japan - Japan Photo Journal website is a separate photography, geotagging, and Japan information site created to work in tandem with the podcast episodes found here at SavageJapan.com.
At JapanPhotoJournal.com, there are interactive maps beneath each photo that reveal exactly where the photos were taken and where the Savage Japan podcast episodes were recorded.
