Originally from Gifu prefecture she spent time working as a renovation designer in Tokyo and has backpacked extensively through Europe, the Middle East, North & South America and Australia. It was actually while travelling that she heard about Niseko from some other travelers. She has spent two winters here and is definitely hooked on the powder snow. Outside of work she likes to ride motorcycles, snowboarding and gardening and in the future wants to build her own house in the area.
