Earth Exhibit
Rare natural phenomena and ecological moments worldwide
Who I Am
I'm John. For 9 years I've been documenting rural Japan - its wildlife, abandoned villages, natural phenomena, and the places most people never see.
What started as exploration turned into something else: helping people who feel the same pull actually make the move. I now help foreigners relocate to Japan and buy property here, connecting them with the right places, people, and information.
How I Can Help
Whether you're just curious or ready to move, I've built tools to help you figure out what makes sense.
🧭
Japan Fit Assessment - Match your lifestyle to regions you'd actually enjoy
🏡
Home Buying Concierge - Buy property with local partners, no Japanese required
📋
Free Resources - Visa diagnostic, timeline builder, relocation guides
What I Document
Japan's natural world is underrated. I track seasonal phenomena, rare wildlife encounters, and ecological stories - from firefly seasons to bear migrations to the quiet decline of satoyama landscapes.
