Mari

I’ve been working as a travel editor and writer for seven years and joined the MATCHA team in 2022. Originally from Tokyo, I studied abroad in San Jose during college. It's always exciting to find "hidden gems" in Japan by looking at my home country from a traveler's perspective!

Things I love: Strolling around town, coffee, art, movies, and trips

Top spots: Shinjuku Gyoen, Isshiki Beach, and Mt. Aso in Kumamoto
