Hi, my name is Felicity and I want to show you the real magic of Japan. What do I mean by magic? In Japan there is a saying, ichi-go, ichi-e. It means something that can never be repeated, and reminds us to stay in the moment. Aussie by birth, I settled in Japan in 2006, and Kyoto from 2017. Fluent in the language, I interpret for cultural workshops and show you the secret spots. My passion is travel, culture and photography. My goal is to be a bridge, connecting Japan with the rest of the world. Come experience ichi-go, ichi-e with me.
