The most common advice bloggers receive, other than to post regularly (ha!), is to find and hold a focus. Few Japan blogs have managed that better over the past several years than the consistently useful Get Hiroshima Blog. Kept mostly by a British and American couple living and working in, well, Hiroshima, the blog keeps running tabs on news, events and other developments around town that might be of interest to locals, foreign or otherwise.
The blog focuses on Hiroshima and its environs but manages within that purview to include everything from restaurant and film reviews to glosses of local news stories, interviews, opinion pieces and more. Part of the larger gethiroshima.com site, both the blog and its parent site are uniquely useful resources for prospective visitors to western Japan. Check it out here or from the sidebar.
