7 Best Places in Japan for Freelance Writers

By Diana Nadim Adjadj · On November 16, 2020


Why not take advantage of the flexibility and freedom that being a freelance writer provides? Freelance writers  are some of the lucky ones who can travel around the world and do the job they love along the way. If you dare to set sails and head to a new adventure, Japan for freelance writers can be the ultimate destination. This exotic Asian country can broaden your horizons and introduce you to a whole new world. Japan is suitable for freelance writers and for anyone else because it offers something for everyone.

Do you want to know the best places in Japan are for freelance writers or for others looking for a great place for an extended trip? The answers await you in the following lines!

1. Fukuoka

Fukuoka can bring you the best of both worlds – the busy life of a big city and calming beaches. Said to be one of the top three cities in Japan for innovation, Fukuoka brings endless opportunities for freelance writers and enthusiastic travelers. If you need office space, you can always head to their coworking spaces.

The dynamic nature of this city will keep you going and exploring all the options. You simply must visit Ohori Park and Nanzoin Temple.  Nanzoin Temple is known for a miniature version of the 88-temple pilgrimage through Shikoku and the spectacular Nehanzo.

When you get all worn out from the faced-paced lifestyle, go to one of Fukuoka’s white-sand beaches. Can you imagine anything better than drinking a cocktail by the beach and writing about your adventures?

2. Osaka

This port city has all the advantages of a modern Japanese city. In Osaka, you can spend your days working and walking around this incredible city. But in the night, you won’t be able to resist their exciting nightlife.

Osaka is also praised for its great food. Which is why many freelance writers who have cooking blogs or write about international cooking head to Osaka. Make sure that you try some of their specialties like Tenma and Ura Namba.

When you feel like relaxing, go to Kema Sakuranomiya Park. It is a riverside park with walking trails and cherry trees.

For a glimpse at Japanese history, visit Shitenno-Ji Temple, the first Buddhist temple and oldest officially administered temple in Japan.

3. Aomori

The Aomori region is one of the most charming and beautiful places in Japan. Anyone who admires an aesthetically pleasing environment can’t miss a visit to Aomori.

A freelance writer at TrustMyPaper and travel blogger Kristin Savage said that Aomori is her favorite place in Japan. “For me, Aomori is a true example of how incredible Asian culture is. I fell in love with this place the moment I stepped on its ground. Every crack of Aomori can inspire me which is why I love it so much,” shared Kristin.

The perfect time to visit Aomori is between April 23rd and May 5th. That’s when you can experience the Hirosaki Cherry Blossom Festival. There may be more people than usual, but the joys that the festival brings is worth it.

4. Tokyo

We can’t disregard one of the most popular cities in the world and the economic center of Japan – Tokyo. It is a truly fascinating city where you’ll always have something to do. No matter what you write about or what you are interested in, Tokyo has it.

Visit art shows, meet people from all around the world, explore their nightlife, or whatever you feel like.

Additionally, Tokyo has lots of English-friendly coworking spaces. They are the perfect place for you to get your job done and meet some new friends.

5. Kyoto

Anyone who wants to experience traditional Japan should go to Kyoto. There you’ll find bamboo forests, temples, Zen gardens, and geishas in brightly colored kimonos.

Kyoto is the ideal place for a writer or traveler who is looking to dig deeper into Japanese culture. Head towards the mountains and in the surrounding neighborhoods, you can find old wooden houses, monks, and narrow stone streets.

The sounds of gongs and chanting from the numerous temples and shrines aren’t a rarity in Kyoto. And if you want to spot geishas, visit Gion.

Overall, Kyoto can be a great source of inspiration. Especially if you want to write about Japanese culture.

6. Bizen

If you are the kind of person who thrives in calm and relaxing surroundings, here is the perfect place for you. Bizen in Okayama prefecture is a rural city that will allow you to sit back and relax among locals.

Considering that it isn’t packed with tourists, you won’t have to deal with bustling streets whenever you go.

Bizen can enable you to click that pause button on your life and slow down for a while. It has long cycling trails so you can enjoy the city views while keeping your body healthy.

Also, Bizen is famous for its distinctive rusting pottery. You can check out the well-known style of ceramic ware in Bizen Pottery Museum.

7. Hakone

Hakone is one of the best places in Japan that will give you a clear sight of Mount Fuji. Seeing this Japanese landmark emerging from the clouds above Lake Ashi is pure magic!

Some writers thrive when they are surrounded by nature so if you are one of them, you won’t be disappointed with Hakone.

Enjoying the breathtaking view of Mount Fuji isn’t the only thing you can do in this place. Spend your free time soaking in an onsen or wonder around Hakone and eat tasty food.

You also don’t want to miss the Hakone Open Air Museum. There you’ll get a chance to enjoy an outdoor sculpture gallery.

Japan for freelance writers

Final Thoughts

Whether you are a freelance writer or not, these places promise to give you an amazing time. Japan is a unique country that manages to perfectly blend the modern lifestyle with tradition. Just pick the place that suits your preference and you’ll be more than happy that you chose Japan as your travel destination.
