About Voyapon
Voyapon prides itself on giving our readership the lowdown on the more under-the-radar locations in Japan in five languages (English, French, German, Spanish, and Italian). Travel focused since its inception in 2016, Voyapon has also recently expanded to give travelers and residents our recommendations about culture and lifestyle topics in Japan.
From art and architecture to fashion and cuisine, we will always have you covered. We don't take Japan and its multifaceted culture lightly here at Voyapon, and every article we publish is thoroughly researched and up-to-date regarding the details that you require to enjoy your time in Japan.
We prefer the slightly longer form of journalism, through a subjective lens, and give our readers the full spectrum of guidance when navigating the ins and outs of traveling throughout this always-fascinating country. THIS IS VOYAPON.
Meet Our Team
The Voyapon team consists of staff and contributors from many countries including Japan, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Canada, Australia, the UK, and the US. Our contributors are native speakers and writers in English, French, Spanish, German, and Italian and approach Japan with both curiosity as outsiders to the culture and appreciation for the many differences between Japan and their home countries. We believe in the power of team diversity, enabling us to see things from new perspectives and helping us to develop respect and lasting relationships across all borders.
