Thank y’all 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

I meet travelers from around the world every day, so I knew not many people make it up to Tohoku… 🥺 - only 1.5–2% travel north 🗾

If you want to truly feel the power of nature, Tohoku is the place 🌊 The onsen there feel wild and untouched in the best way possible ♨️ And honestly, Tohoku is a region you should explore by car 🚗 It’s huge, full of hidden places, and meant for slow travel🦀🐟🐎🐙🌊🤳⛰️🚠

So grateful for all the connections and reunions with our guests since spring 🌸🌸🌸

Cooking together, sharing stories, and creating memories—this is why I love what I do 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

Please come visit 🇯🇵 again 🗼🍡🗾🍜🍙🍱

More to come… 🤳

They’re college students from all across the U.S., each studying at different universities. They just arrived in Japan a few days ago and are about to spend the next semester here 👏🏻

I’m so happy they chose 🎌 and I really enjoyed making onigiri 🍙 together with them 🫶🏻

When I was around their age, I had the chance to study abroad in the U.S., and I’m truly grateful for that experience—it made this moment feel even more special 🤗

Our weekend trip to the other week really made me feel like I experienced the true spirit of omotenashi 👐🏻

It comes from that very Japanese sense of “reading the room”—quietly understanding what a guest might need and going the extra step to make it happen. That’s what real hospitality felt like to me.

There are so many ways to travel, but if you come to 🇯🇵, I really think a stay at a ryokan in nature is something you shouldn’t miss—to truly understand omotenashi.

I’d honestly say skip Hakone though 😅 and go somewhere a bit more local and peaceful. Definitely add it to your itinerary 🌿🥳😎

January guests - your smiles and laughters really kept me going this month 🙏🏻😘🙏🏻

Can’t wait to see you again🏂

Thank you all so much 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
