Age 35. As the editor-in-chief, I’m passionate about uncovering Japan’s history, culture, and daily life to share with the world. I especially love traveling to different regions, exploring local cuisine, and learning about the lifestyles of people in each area. Once I get curious about something, I tend to go all in—sometimes that even means hopping on a train to experience it firsthand! Recently, I’ve been fascinated by traditional festivals and the stories behind them. With a strong cup of coffee in hand, I’m always pushing toward crafting content that balances fun and accuracy (even if I can be a perfectionist at times).
