My Story
A Tokyo-based curious traveler and food storyteller connecting cultures through seasonal flavors—also a pop-up sushi chef.
My Travel Style
I craft immersive culinary journeys that let you truly savor a place’s terroir—from the energy of local markets to the artistry of the world’s most visionary restaurants. I love designing well-balanced itineraries that explore every angle of a destination, blending humble hostels with luxurious stays to capture its full character. As a researcher by background, I’m skilled at uncovering meaningful local gems tailored to each traveler’s tastes, and at curating safe, inspiring routes that bring each journey to life.

From helping us consider the optimal schedule to adjusting our reservation date and securing a voucher for a special bar experience, Rio went above and beyond to make this celebration memorable.
From hidden local gems to high-end spaces, from traditional cuisine to cutting-edge fine dining—thanks to her, we experienced a journey that spanned both the vertical and horizontal layers of Seoul.
We couldn’t have made our family’s very first trip abroad so extraordinary without her. Thank you, RIO.
