Mini bio
An online diary becomes a career.
Cheesie began Cheeserland in 2004 as a personal diary, naming it for her love of cheese. In her Kobe interview, she recalled keeping diaries from age nine and starting online with just one reader: herself.
Japan changes the story.
Her first visit to Japan in 2008 became a turning point. Fashion blogging brought appearances on Japanese national television, including NHK’s Tokyo Kawaii TV. Her writing later expanded into parenting and travel, with Japan remaining its central thread.
A book and all 47 prefectures.
In April 2016 she published How to Be a Successful Blogger (Cheat One™), an eBook about her blogging career. Her book page also identifies the print edition, How I Make A Living Blogging: A Very Cheesie Story. By February 2026, she reported having traveled through all 47 Japanese prefectures twice.
A quieter chapter.
In her September 2026 anniversary post, she described moving from Tokyo to a rural Japanese hamlet the previous September. Chickens, an old house and a slower rhythm now feature in her account of daily life alongside her regional travel writing.
