This is just a handful of the many pictures from my trip to Fukushima, Japan. Akane and I (we worked together for NHK World’s “Tokyo Eye”) were invited as guests to participate in “Aizu Engine 007 – Fukushima Never Give Up!” So many aspects of Aizu, Fukushima were affected by the tsunami and the nuclear explosion … Continue Reading
I’ve never heard of Maison de Reefur until my cousin told me about it – it’s a clothing & interior decoration boutique owned by Japanese model Rinka. Since I’ve seen her in quite a few magazines and I love her style, I knew I had to check this place out. Excuse the poor quality … Continue Reading
I’ve been to Ikea many times when I lived in California, but this was my first time going to an Ikea in Japan. My friend is moving into his new apartment soon, so I helped him pick out some furniture. Most of the furniture and the layout of the store are similar, but there were … Continue Reading
I finally made my way to Carsland at California Adventures this weekend and I loved it. My friend and I got there right before the park opened but we still had to wait in line for an hour for the main attraction Radiator Springs Racers. It was worth the wait though. And it was … Continue Reading

I decided to spend part of my last weekend in Orange County in San Diego to visit some friends and explore more of its greatness. Hopefully you can tell by my photos that I had some amazing food… … Continue Reading
Today was one of those days where I couldn’t resist the urge to soak in the sun and enjoy some beautiful weather. Warm sun, slight breeze, blue ocean, people tanning, children playing. It was nice to be away from the hustle-bustle of my daily routine and be able to have time to myself, minus … Continue Reading
Additional photos from my SF trip! I know I sound like a tourist, but I finally got a picture with the Golden Gate bridge (the pictures from when I was a 5-year-old are a bit outdated). My boyfriend took us to a semi- remote area near the ocean, where you can walk along … Continue Reading
I’m so happy to be back in SF, especially since I happened to arrive during Pride where festivities were in full swing. There was so much to do and see near City Hall: food stands, free concerts, street vendors, and artwork like the huge inflated lotus flower above. I also got my first ever … Continue Reading

Akane Nakajima and I will be introducing Akiruno and Tokyo Summerland in Tokyo, Japan. You can … Continue Reading
Yesterday, my friend and I decided to drive up to the Griffith Observatory in LA to see what it was all about. We didn’t realize we parked my car at the bottom of the hill and that we had an approximately 3 mile hike ahead of us. It was tiring, but the view from above was … Continue Reading
