Hey, I’m Captain7x7 — a pilot based in Tokyo, flying Boeing 787s across Asia and the Pacific.
I’ve spent years landing in cities most tourists never see, eating at restaurants that don’t have English menus, and playing golf courses that don’t show up on TripAdvisor. Most travel guides about Japan are written by people who spent two weeks there as a tourist. This one isn’t.
What You’ll Find Here
✈️ Travel Tips — The kind of insider knowledge you only get from living here. Where to go, what to eat, how to get around without speaking Japanese.
⛳ Golf in Japan — I’ve played dozens of courses in the Tokyo area. I’ll tell you which ones are worth it, how much to budget, and how to actually book a tee time as a foreigner.
🗺️ Pilot’s Perspective — From the best seat on the plane to what to do during a layover in Tokyo, I’ll share what I know from the cockpit and beyond.
Why Japan?
Japan is one of those rare places that rewards curiosity. The more you dig, the better it gets. The food, the people, the nature, the cities — there’s always something new to discover, even after years of living here.
My goal is to help you experience Japan the way locals do — not just the highlights, but the real thing.
Let’s go.
