Ananda is a 29-year-old Singaporean currently living in Hitachi, Ibaraki. Hardly a stranger to the land of the rising sun, he has travelled extensively around the entire country since 2012 and lived in Okinawa for two years. He especially loves exploring the Japanese countryside and has done so in a myriad of ways: by rail, scooter, and by hitchhiking.
Jeremy is a first year Masters student at the University of Tokyo. He loves travelling across Japan to find new unexpected discoveries, and he loves the food he finds there even more. Hiking in picturesque locations, eating delicious local delicacies, and taking in the traditional sights of Japan are his particular favourites.
