About
Born in Nara, raised in Osaka, charmed by Kyoto, living in Tokyo. I love sharing Japan's best.

Travel style
I adore travel that merges luxury with local culture. Staying in five-star ryokans with stunning views and private baths is my idea of indulgence. While I equally enjoy dining in local eateries, observing the daily life of locals. Mornings spent at markets, soaking up the local flavors and reveling in Japan's natural beauty across its seasons are essential to my travels. I also have a deep appreciation for historical temples and shrines.
I offer to create a personalized, detailed 7-day itinerary for $150.
