This is a short announcement that Outland Japan continues to be on a break. Outland Japan has been running for over two years now, the most recent episode being Episode 50. I very much enjoy making the podcast but it takes quite a bit of time and effort - something I need to balance with work, family and other commitments. Looking forward I can see that that balance is going to be hard to achieve, especially in the next 6 to 12 months. Rather than overburden myself, I have decided to leave the podcast on a break for now as I figure out a way to continue Outland Japan in a manner more aligned and workable with my other commitments.

I am hesitant to do that as it takes a lot of effort and time to build up an audience, yet little time at all to lose an audience. For that reason I will endeavour to return with Outland Japan as soon as possible. If you’re following or subscribed to the podcast on whichever app you're listening on, it would be great if you could not change that so once I know the return date, you’ll get that announcement in your feed. Thanks for listening!

Outland Japan is a bi-weekly podcast hosted by Peter Carnell - a freelance tour guide based in northern Nagano – that transports you to rural, regional and the wilds of Japan in pursuit of stories that lie outside the neon hum of Tokyo and golden trimmings of Kyoto. Stories of travel, life and culture beyond the big cities. Follow the show on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube. Please note, prior to October 2024, Outland Japan was named Snow Country Stories Japan.
