A travel writer and book writer with 8 years of experience. I contribute travel and outing articles to more than 10 magazines, books, and web media, and also provide photos for TV programs and books. Under the concept of "Solo female travel is fun!", I introduce attractive spots across Japan, from Hokkaido to Okinawa, with a focus on Nara. My specialties include transportation travel such as trains and overnight buses, accommodation experiences in inns and hotels, and ways to enjoy temples and shrines. I have a love for Japan's ancient history and traditional culture, and I exhibit my enthusiasm through hobbies such as Ikebana, Kodo (the way of incense), poetry, classical literature, and Japanese mythology.
