Unbeaten Paths of Japan: Curated digital map of unusual locations

Hi! I'm Alena Kirdina, and I’ve traveled through 46 countries and 145 cities, always hunting for those special, off-the-beaten-path spots that give a city its true character. After hours of exploring, chatting with locals, and soaking in everything Japan has to offer, I’ve put together a Google map of my favorite finds in Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto.

This map is all about local food, cozy coffee shops, cool bars, galleries, and modern architecture. If you’re looking to go beyond the typical tourist stuff and experience Japan in a more authentic way, I think you’ll love this.

This map will be super handy if you:

🍣 Want to discover amazing local eats and hidden coffee gems;

🖼 Love checking out galleries and cool modern architecture;

🚶‍♀️ Prefer exploring the city like a local rather than a tourist;

🙅‍♀️ Don’t have the time (or energy!) to do a deep dive into research before your trip.

Here's what you'll get:

🔗 A Google map with all my favorite spots pinned—from hip restaurants and coffee shops to galleries and cool buildings;

💡 Personal notes and tips from me about each spot, so you know what to expect;

🆕 Regular updates, so whenever I discover something new, you’ll immediately get access to it too!

I’ve done all the hard work of searching and exploring, so you can just grab the map and start enjoying these amazing cities right away!
