    Mother of one, originally from Osaka. My main job is IT related translation. I fell in love with the natural beauty of Soni and moved in to an old country house. I have a wood-fired bath everyday.

    Five years ago, I was assigned to Mitsue Village, a neighboring village, as a community revitalization cooperation team member. After completing her three-year term, she became a staff member at Soninowa GLOCAL. Utilizing her special skill in making sweets, she also sells sweets in Mitsue Village.
