Hello, my name is Emily Morofushi! I am an American national, and I now live in Shimane Prefecture, the second least populated prefecture in Japan, sometimes dubbed “The Land of the Gods.” I’ve been living here for five years and hope to encourage others to explore lesser-known regions of Japan. Through my stories, I aim to connect internationals interested in the rural lifestyle with local communities!
“I appreciate the seasonality of things in Japan, as it encourages me to slow down and savor small, fleeting moments. The changing seasons bring new foods, flowers, and festivals, each offering me something special to look forward to.”
