Hi there! I’m Louise, a freelance writer, content creator and university lecturer from New Zealand, now based in Tokyo. I contribute to a wide variety of platforms and media outlets. My work often takes me to lesser-known regions around Japan, bringing their stories to an international audience. Having called Japan “home” for over 25 years, I’m delighted to help you discover more of this fascinating country!
Fun fact: “Kittaka” is an unusual surname from Hiroshima, where I met my husband.
“What I love are the serendipitous surprises–you never know what awaits just around the corner, and I am constantly finding new things that delight and astonish me.”
