Maria Matsumoto
Born in Tokyo, Japan. I have been writing and editing since I was in university, visiting and collecting information about the latest and greatest Japanese spots, food, and hotels. I love travelling alone, and some of my favorite times are when I am putting together a travel plan for an upcoming trip. Some of my favorite spots in Japan are Tokyo's Odaiba, Hiroshima's Tomonoura, and Okinawa's Miyako-jima.
