Born in Hong Kong, raised in Japan, I am a Japanese American who is in junior year of university in Oita, Japan. Growing up in Japan as a ha-fu; the Japanese word for the mixed bloods of 2 different countries meaning half, I had never really thought I was not Japanese or American. Personally, I thought I was both, but that’s not what the world thinks.

Since I started to model hair in high school, I noticed that people didn’t see me as Japanese, and they would comment that my Japanese was good even if I told them it was my mother tongue. And now, living in a rural area in Japan where there are quite a few tourists, I get handed the “English menu” all the time.

This blog Travel 47 is where I take you on my visits to the 47 different prefectures in Japan.

After turning 20 in 2016, I have set the counter back to 0 and started retraveling Japan. Most people have never traveled all 47 prefectures, just like you probably haven’t traveled all 50 states in the US. By traveling all 47 prefectures, I may just become more Japanese, than the Japanese.
