I am Yoshimi – a qualified Japanese teacher
I am Yoshimi – a qualified Japanese teacher
I’m originally from Okayama, nicknamed "Hare no Kuni" for its beautiful sunny weather. It’s also the legendary birthplace of Momotaro (Peach Boy)—the inspiration behind my 🍑 MOMO 🍑 and ☀️ HARE ☀️ courses!
Since 2010, I’ve been sharing my passion for Japan through language tutoring and cultural workshops (calligraphy, origami, history, travel and cooking). Having lived in Okayama, Kyoto, and Tokyo, I now enjoy traveling the world to visit my students.
My goal is simple: to make learning fun, practical, and to help you fall in love with the Japanese language!
