Why This Archive Exists:TL;DR Version

NFL players visit Japan more often than ever — for vacations, events, and sightseeing.
But their posts on Instagram or X disappear quickly, making it hard to remember when they came or where they went.

This archive preserves those visits in a simple, map‑based format.

How It Works

• No real‑time tracking — entries are added only after the trip is over, even if Stories were posted within 24 hours.
• Minimal, low‑resolution images — used only to confirm a visit, always with source links.
• Non‑commercial — a fan‑driven project with removal requests honored.

Why It Matters

Japan has become a favorite destination for NFL players, and their visits form a unique cultural bridge worth preserving.
