Kim profile copy 2

Hi! I’m Kimberly, and I have lived in Japan for 28 years (whoah!). I am a Japanese-to-English translator and a writer focusing mostly on travel, food, artisans, social issues, and often the interconnections therein.

“As a travel writer, I have had the privilege of visiting numerous corners of the Japanese archipelago, and due to the incredible depth of this country’s history, culture, and mythological traditions, I feel that the cliche “the more you learn, the less you realize you know” really holds true here—which, happily, just encourages me to continue exploring!”
