I am a Japanese language teacher who now pursues blogging and web writing as a side job. I live in Tokyo with my husband and our two sons. I have a deep love for trekking, Miffy, Pokémon, and Japanese culture.
These passions not only enrich my personal life but also inspire my writing and creative endeavors.
I have a passion for both domestic and international travel, having explored over 30 countries, with a special focus on Asian nations. I have also traveled to every prefecture in Japan.
During my 20s and 30s, I worked as a Japanese language teacher at schools in Southeast Asia. Teaching a language is not just about the language itself, but also about sharing the culture that surrounds it. With this blog, I aim to let those interested in Japan experience its unique allure.
While Japan is renowned for famous tourist destinations like Tokyo, Kyoto, Mount Fuji, and Hokkaido, there are many other breathtaking and beautiful places throughout the country.
As a local, I am familiar with hidden gems in Japan that are less known to outsiders. Through this blog, I want to introduce these lesser-known spots beyond the famous tourist attractions, showcasing the true beauty of Japan.
