About Us

We at Japan Gay Guide provide a comprehensive content website dedicated to serving the LGBTQ community with valuable insights and resources for navigating Japan. Catering to both travellers and locals, the site offers up-to-date information on LGBTQ-friendly venues, events, and cultural practices across Japan. From detailed guides on welcoming neighborhoods and supportive businesses to tips on local customs and safety, Japan Gay Guide aims to ensure a welcoming and enjoyable experience for all who visit or live in Japan.

Our Background

Our desire was to build an accessible platform for travellers and locals in need of queer information. We notice a lack of quality information on anything queer related especially in tourist heavy country like Japan. We want to be your go to place for all your needs during your stay.
