Our People

Born and raised in Tokyo, I built my career in media, where my work was closely connected to travel. Through my previous roles, I traveled extensively across Japan while developing itineraries, coordinating logistics, and negotiating directly with local suppliers and partners. I also spent a total of two years living in the United States, including one year as a Fulbright Scholar, which strengthened my ability to work across cultures and understand international expectations. Having traveled to more than 30 countries and visited all 47 prefectures in Japan, I approach travel from both perspectives: as a global traveler and as someone deeply familiar with Japanese society. These combined experiences led me to create the service I personally wanted most, grounded in thoughtful planning, local knowledge, and practical execution.

Born and raised as a Kiwi, I feel lucky to call New Zealand my home. My love for travel started in my own backyard. In between university classes, I would take any opportunity I could get to explore, whether that be cycling around the city or going on weekend excursions into the isolated but beautiful Southern Alps. I have also spent many years exploring Japan's shrines, onsens, and hikes with my family. You'll most likely catch me outdoors, either walking, cycling, or hiking in some of the remotest parts of New Zealand or Japan.

I was born and raised in Japan, and I have lived here my entire life. I have experience working in the hospitality industry at tourist destinations, and I always aim to create experiences that make visitors truly feel, “I’m glad I came to Japan.” I also enjoy introducing places and aspects of Japanese culture that only locals know, beyond what can be found in guidebooks or online. There are still so many hidden charms in Japan, and I like helping each traveler discover experiences that suit them, with care and attention.

I was born and raised in Japan and grew up in a region rich in nature. Being surrounded by local landscapes and everyday community life from an early age has shaped my understanding of Japan's diverse cultures and regional character. I have worked in the media industry on projects related to travel, where I was involved in planning and sharing travel experiences while taking actual transportation and on-the-ground conditions into account. Through this work, I had many opportunities to engage not only with well-known destinations, but also with the everyday life and background of each place. In my free time, I enjoy visiting locations featured in anime and manga, often referred to as “pilgrimage” trips. Experiencing places through stories has broadened my perspective on travel and deepened my appreciation of Japanese culture.

Originally from Hungary, I’ve lived over 4 years in the wonderful state of Hawai’i, and I’m currently residing in Japan. My love for travel started at a young age, as my parents would take our family on international vacations every year. I’ve visited over 20 countries, and the list of must-visit travel destinations is still increasing so I’m looking forward to exploring new places every time I get the chance. As a true GenZ, social media is an integral part of my life, and I love sharing my adventures and finding a creative outlet to connect with people with the same interests.

I am originally from Canada, I have done langauge school in three countries (Taiwan, Korea and Japan). A passionate traveler, I enjoy working on things that makes the lives of travelers easier and more convenient. When I am not coding, You can find me in and out of cafes all across Asia.

Born and raised in Japan and now based in London, I bring a global perspective shaped by living and working across cultures. I have also spent time living in the United States, which helped me better understand the expectations, concerns, and travel styles of international visitors. Before joining this team, I worked at the Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO), where I supported travelers from all over the world with a wide range of travel-related questions from transportation and regional planning to cultural customs and practical concerns. Through this role, I gained a deep, practical understanding of what travelers truly need in order to enjoy Japan smoothly and with confidence. Having responded to real traveler questions on a daily basis, I’m especially mindful of the small uncertainties that can affect a trip. I approach travel planning with a calm, thoughtful mindset, focusing on clarity, realism, and reassurance. My strength lies in translating complex systems such as Japan’s transportation networks and regional differences into guidance that feels clear, approachable, and easy to follow.

I was born in Japan and graduated from high school in New Zealand. After that, I went on to attend an internationally diverse university in Japan, from which I graduated. I have developed a global perspective through my experiences living abroad. So far, I have worked in hotel front desk, gained a wide range of office experience, and have experience in an inbound travel agency. I strive to create itineraries from the customer’s perspective, ensuring they have an enjoyable experience. One of my favorite activities in Japan, which is also a hobby of mine, is visiting temples and shrines. I find that visiting these unique spaces allows me to relax.
