Alexander Litz moved to rural Yamagata at age 15, and even after completing his studies across Seoul, Tokyo, and Taipei, he returned to Yamagata to share his love of northern Japan with the world as a freelance writer and translator. Having explored all 47 prefectures, Alexander transitioned to a career in tourism and now is the Director of Inbound Tourism at Expedition Japan, where beyond planning and leading unique trips in rural Japan, he does inbound consulting for local and regional governments as well as travel media to help show the world the charms of a Japan less traveled. He is a Nationally Licensed Tour Conductor, holds a Bachelor’s Degree in International Relations and Asian Studies from Temple University Japan, and is a Boren Scholar at National Taiwan University.
