Discover Japan in Depth

Japón a Fondo is a project dedicated to discovering Japan beyond the superficial, through deep experiences in travel, culture, and language.

The Story Behind
Japón a Fondo

Japan is an incredible country to visit in any way, but it becomes even more special when you understand what is behind each detail.

At JaF Tours, we are a group of Japan-based residents passionate about this incredible country. We combine the perspective of people who understand Japan from within, while appreciating it through a lens we share as outsiders.

For us, it is not about “checking places off a list,” but about truly understanding the place. Japan, in depth.

Meet Miguel, Founder
of the Project

I’m Miguel Ángel Morcillo Hidalgo, originally from Extremadura, Spain. After several trips to Japan, I eventually moved to Tokyo, where I have now been living for nearly a decade.

Having worked for years as a professional translator, and now as a Japanese language teacher through Japónes a Fondo, for me, gaining a deep understanding of the language opened the doors to Japanese culture on a much deeper level, in a way that would not otherwise be accessible.

Now, beyond the language itself, I also aim to share Japanese culture firsthand together with my fellow guides through the Japón a Fondo (Japan in Depth) Tours project.
