NorthWest WaAbout NorthWest Wa
For travellers, disc golfers and anyone who wants simple, practical tools for travel, money and home.
NorthWest Wa makes practical tools that bring a little harmony to travel, money and home. Wa is the Japanese word for harmony. The name joins the Pacific Northwest, where the brand has its roots, with that idea.
What's here
- Japan trip planning: free maps, checklists and guides, plus a custom itinerary service that is in a founding beta and not on sale yet.
- Disc golf: a course map, beginner guides and where to follow tournaments, with a focus on Canada.
- Bitcoin directory: places in Canada and Japan that list Bitcoin payments, with links to the source for each listing. Not financial advice.
