ANNOUNCEMENT: The Podcast is Renaming as ‘Outland Japan’ & The New Season Begins Tuesday October 22nd!

I am pleased to announce that the podcast will be returning with the first episode of Season 4 on Tuesday 22nd October, under the new name of 'Outland Japan'. The podcast has now been running around a year-and-a-half, and during that time, I've discovered more and more stories I’d like to bring you, that lie outside of the snow country, in other areas of regional and rural Japan. Under the new name of 'Outland Japan', I’ll start to do just that as I extend the focus of the pod to all of rural, regional and the wilds of Japan. But based in the snow country myself, exploring Japan's legendary 'yukiguni' will remain a large part of my focus as we head into winter 2024-25.

With that change, I won’t continue updating this website. It will remain online for the time being but from Season 4 onward, you can find the podcast at the new, simpler website - outlandjapan.com. You'll also find the pod on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube by searching 'Outland Japan'. I look forward to exploring more of the snow country and beyond as we head deeper in the Japanese outlands in the season to come!
