ABOUT
SETSUKI
In my younger days, I spent about two years studying in the United Kingdom.
Since then, I’ve traveled to more than 50 countries around the world, with a particular love for Europe.
The experience of living abroad for an extended time and exploring diverse cultures across different countries has become one of the greatest treasures of my life.
Drawing on those experiences, I’ve long wanted to share the beauty of Japan from a native Japanese perspective with people who are interested in the country or planning to visit.
Now that I’ve reached a point in life where I’m more conscious of the time ahead, I decided to finally bring that long-held dream to life by creating this website.
There are still so many fascinating aspects of Japan that even locals may not know.
Through this site — and through my own ongoing journey of discovery — I hope to introduce more people to the many wonders of Japan.
