Profile of the Website Owner
Hello! My name is MAO, the creator of “Inside Wa Japan.”
I am based in Kanto, Japan, and have a deep passion for Japanese culture and traditions.
I started this website to share the beauty of “Wa” (the spirit of harmony) and daily life in Japan with people from all over the world, in both English and Japanese.
Here, I introduce unique experiences, traditional customs, and travel tips based on my own discoveries and adventures.
My hope is that “Inside Wa Japan” will help you enjoy, understand, and connect with Japanese culture.
