Keep your Tokyo travel journal simple and let us handle the techie stuff

So you know what you want to write and you've got the pictures on your digital camera that you want to show your family and friends. The problem comes when you try putting them online... that's if you're not an internet geek like us ; )

Well, we received a number of requests from different readers asking if it would be possible to record their Tokyo vacation on our website. We thought long and hard about this. The trick for us was how to keep it simple while letting you do what you need to do. That's how we came up with the idea of building a section of the site that would be all yours but we would still act as administrators. The goal? To give you an easy way that isn't too techie to post your Tokyo travel stories online.

This is exactly what your travel journal is designed to let you do. Quickly and easily record and upload stories and pictures from your Tokyo adventures.

That sounds great but how does it work?

We've put together a short video so you can see just how easy it is to set up your own Japan travel journal with us. Click here to go to the video.
