I was born and raised in the charming town of Hokkaido, Japan, surrounded by stunning nature and rich cultural heritage. As a kid, I dreamt of mastering English while soaking up some sunshine—because, let’s face it, Hokkaido winters are no joke! So, in my 20s, I swapped snowflakes for sunshine and jumped on a plane to Sydney.

​

After a few colorful jobs (yes, I’ve packed thousands of capsicums and hundreds of rock melons in Queensland, and pampered nails in Melbourne), I finally discovered my true passion—teaching Japanese!.

For nearly a decade, I had the privilege of meeting hundreds of excited learners who share my love for the Japanese language, culture, food, and all the quirky bits in between at one of the biggest Japanese Language school in Melbourne, Australia.

​

I absolutely love being surrounded by the sound of laughter of my students, the intense focus of them learning something new, and the deep connections we form along the way. There's nothing more rewarding than celebrating their growth and progress together.

 

Now that I’m a mum of one, I’m ready to turn the page to the next chapter and help even more people start or continue their Japanese language journey.

Learning a language can be a bit tricky at times, but who says it has to be boring or complicated? Let’s make it fun and master Japanese together!
