Welcome to Heart of Japan — a space where quiet beauty, timeless traditions, and the gentle rhythm of everyday life converge.
From mist-covered hot springs to shimmering winter illuminations, this site captures the moments that make Japan unforgettable.
Vision
I believe the essence of travel lies not only in seeing places, but in feeling them —
the scent of cedar in a mountain temple, the warmth of an onsen bath, the soft sway of lanterns in the evening breeze.
Through each story, I hope to bring you closer to the soul of Japan.

My name is Katsushi, a writer and cultural storyteller from Japan.
I studied Japanese culture and Zen philosophy at university, where I learned how beauty and simplicity intertwine in everyday life.
Today, I share that spirit with the world — through words, photography, and journeys that touch the heart.
