Who makes this site
Waka Travel is a small, independent site run by one Japanese traveler in Japan. Every itinerary is checked against official sources such as railway companies, temples, shrines and tourism offices, and each page shows the date it was checked. We share travel information only. We don't sell, book or arrange travel.
