Rebecca is a travel writer from Devon, now based in Newcastle upon Tyne. With a degree in Japanese Studies, a stint living in Kyoto and around a dozen other trips to the country, she considers Japan her home away from home. After five years in editorial at Rough Guides – also co-hosting a season of the Rough Guide to Everywhere podcast – she transitioned into freelancing. Her work is always underpinned by deep knowledge of and love for Japanese culture, delving into indigenous arts, queer theatre, classical music festivals, traditional crafts, or any other fascinating corner of Japan's rich cultural life.
