In my 30s, originally from Kyoto and now based in the Kanto region, I have been passionate about traveling both within Japan and abroad since my student days. I love discovering hidden local charms while strolling through cities and towns.

A true nature enthusiast, I’m especially drawn to the sea and mountains—and I’ve even climbed Mt. Fuji! I also enjoy joining local events and festivals, valuing every opportunity to connect with Japanese culture and traditions.

Through my writing, I aim to uncover the deeper appeal of Japan and share insights that make every journey more fulfilling—whether it’s sightseeing spots, gourmet experiences, or outdoor activities.

By highlighting the many attractions of Yamanashi Prefecture, I propose travel ideas where visitors can also experience Japan’s unique spirit of hospitality (“omotenashi”).
