PROFILE

In addition to running an IT consulting firm, I spend my lunch hours scouring the nearby Ginza area for the best places to eat. Over the past several years, I've enjoyed taking in the ever-changing Ginza landscape while reporting on everything from luxurious 5-star restaurants, to old, family-run eateries.

Where in Japan I recommend the most and why to travelers in Japan.: Hokkaido. It’s a treasure trove of seafood! Crab, squid, salmon, sushi, and seafood donburi from other areas just can’t compare to those in Hokkaido.
Favorite memory from traveling in Japan.: Kyoto, Japan’s former capital. The scenery looks different with each season, and walking around there is such a grand experience.
Must do activity for visitors to Japan.: I recommend stopping by the delicious shops in Ginza, one of the best areas for gourmet food in the world.
Don’t be swayed if a restaurant isn’t written about in guide books; try the stores that Japanese people are going into!
