Rie
Site planner and editor at JAPANiCAN.com.
I was born and raised in Tokyo. I've been in New York City for a couple of years in late 90's, so I am a "city girl."
After I joined JAPANiCAN, I often travel in Japan. Favorite places are Kyoto (temples, shrines and moss) and Akita (foods and Onsen!).
I love to eat, travel by Shinkansen and photograph (with my DSLR Olympus E-510). I'll upload many photos in Japan. Don't miss it!
