Remi Afolabi is a content creatorbased in Tokyo, Japan and working worldwide. 

I'm Remi Afolabi, the creator of Round Journal. Currently based in Tokyo, I document travel experiences that reveal the authentic character of destinations, with a particular focus on uncovering Japan's lesser-known facets.

My work gravitates towards the convergence of design, architecture, and culture. I'm drawn to spaces that tell stories—whether it's a thoughtfully designed hotel, a tranquil nature escape, or an off-the-beaten-path café that embodies local creativity.

Round Journal isn't about conventional tourism. It's an invitation to pause and absorb. To appreciate the intentional elements of a building, the considered placement of elements in a garden, or the subtle interplay between tradition and modernity in urban environments.

Here, you'll discover guides that delve deeper, photography that captures fleeting moments of interest, and insights into the design principles shaping our surroundings. Whether you're an inquisitive traveler, design enthusiast, or someone who values the nuanced art of place, Round Journal offers a platform for discovery and contemplation.

Join me in exploring the quiet narratives of Japan and beyond.
