Hi! I'm Tuma, a Japanese woman living in Tohoku, Japan.
Enjoying the solo life. 🇯🇵
Even after quitting my job, Friday evenings still feel a little special.
Potato salad. Sushi onigiri. A cold beer. A favorite film.
Honestly, this is one of my favorite moments in life. 🌙
I hope you enjoy a slow, solo Friday evening in Japan with me. 🌿
