Hi, I'm Marthe, 29 years old, and I live in beautiful Kyoto, Japan. After my first visit to Japan in 2018, where I stayed with a host family during my minor at Kwansei Gakuin University, I knew my adventure here wasn't over yet. In 2022, I decided to return, and despite the challenges of the lockdown, I was granted a visa.

What was originally supposed to be a three-month stay has now grown into three years, with much more to come. On my blog, I share my experiences and discoveries as I build my life in Japan. From exploring temples to savoring local cuisine, I'll take you along on my Japanese adventure. Thank you for being a part of my travel story!
