Mini bio
How it started.
After working in inbound tourism, PR and secretarial roles, Kyoko began posting travel images inspired by a German influencer. She bought a camera for her husband, who became absorbed in photography. The two developed the work together.
Finding her audience.
In a 2022 Sumikai interview, she recalled starting Instagram about five years earlier. Her account grew rapidly during the pandemic, bringing collaboration offers. By that interview, she had left her retail PR job to work as a creator full time.
Japan in the foreground.
Her photographs often place her facing away from the camera so the scenery takes center stage. She revisits places in different seasons and encourages travelers to explore beyond Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto.
Sharing what she learns.
Her work includes regional tourism campaigns, a Tokyo Tokyo washi-making feature and Meta’s Creator Lab Japan campaign for teenage creators. She also judges travel photography and video competitions.
