Backpacker Japan

Japan's calendar system is based on "one reign, one era". The Heisei era started on January 8, 1989 and ended on April 30, 2019. Sayonara Heisei!

Reiwa is unique, since it's the first time that a Japanese era name has characters taken from Japanese classical literature instead of classic Chinese literature. As the era changing, there are many snacks, drinks and more that made for welcoming the new era ❤️ so if you are in Japan, dont forget to hunting these new products! Yokoso Reiwa!
