Help us build Japan Travel and Onebag – Globe.pub, a friendly community for travelers
Hello! I'm Matt and I just booted up Globe.pub, a Lemmy instance focused on world travel. I'm trying to build a cozy and friendly home for people who used to have that sort of community on Reddit.
Right now, we have two communities:
- !japan@lemmy.globe.pub – for anything and everything relating to visiting the country of Japan
- !onebag@lemmy.globe.pub – travel light, avoid lost luggage, and move faster with one backpack, rather than a giant checked roller bag
Community creation is open – if you have a favorite destination or a specific travel-related topic, we'd love to host your conversations about the places you like to go and the ways you like to explore.

Great timing! In September I’ll be traveling to Japan for two weeks - and I’m gonna try to one-bag it!
Highly recommended! That's how I did my last trip. It was so nice to be able to hop onto a metro train and get going without having to drag my luggage too. Where are you thinking of going?
I’m flying into Tokyo on a Thursday. Going to stay a night, then take the train to Osaka for the weekend til Tuesday. Then heading west to Hiroshima for a bit, back to Osaka for the next weekend. Spend a night in Kyoto, then back to Tokyo until I fly out.
That’s the loose itinerary at least, I really have no idea what I’m going to do while I’m there 😅. Lots of walking around town and maybe some nature excursions if anything calls out to me.
I was going to go with a friend, but life got in the way and they had to bail. So I’ll be flying solo - it’s a bit daunting but I figure the one bag strategy might work well. Less stuff == less to keep track of and worry about.
(Although I am packing a day bag in my one bag 😁)
