HI, I'M Krissel ♡
Exploring Japan, one trip at a time.
I'm a Filipina living in Japan, sharing real travel experiences, detailed itineraries and practical tips to help you plan your own Japan adventures.
About Me
Hi! I'm Krissel Dawn. I'm a Filipina engineer based in Japan, but outside work, you'll usually find me planning the next trip, discovering somewhere new or figuring out where to eat.
Living in Japan has given me the chance to explore beyond the places you usually see on a first-time itinerary. Travel Journal is where I share those experiences, along with the practical details I wish I had before visiting a place.
You'll find real itineraries, transportation tips, food discoveries, costs and little lessons from our trips around Japan and beyond.

LIFE IN JAPAN
Recommendations and perspectives from someone who lives here.
It's Home.
Some of my favorite Japan memories aren't from famous attractions. They're ordinary train rides, quiet streets, neighborhood cafés and places I discovered simply because I lived nearby.
I called Kawagoe home for three years, and living here has completely changed the way I travel around Japan. I hope Travel Journal helps you discover some of those experiences too.
Kawagoemy home for 3 years ♡
And sometimes, the journey takes us beyond Japan.
We also share our travels to other amazing destinations, from Taiwan and Vietnam to future adventures around the world.
