I was born in the 1980s and currently live in Saitama, Japan. As a designer who has lived in Singapore, the US, the UK, and Australia, I’ve always loved international travel and staying at share houses, Airbnbs, and guesthouses. Those experiences inspired me to open my own—and now, I’m proud to have launched my very first guesthouse in Otaru! While working as a designer, I also run the guesthouse myself. I created everything from the house manual to the signage by hand. I try to respond to guests as quickly as possible, and I still love using Airbnb myself when traveling for work. Fun facts: – Recently, I'm really into houseplants! – Languages I speak: Japanese and English – Dream destinations: Egypt, South Korea, Germany, Spain, Sweden, South America
