Michiyo N.

¡Hola! Soy MICHI, una fotógrafa amante de los viajes que habla español. Nací en Saitama, al oeste de Tokio, y crecí rodeada de naturaleza. Desde pequeña, me han interesado los países extranjero y me encanta explorar lugares hermosos y ciudades emocionantes. Estudié inglés en la universidad y me gradué en Literatura Inglesa. Trabajé en una empresa en el departamento de ventas internacionales utilizando inglés, pero decidí dejar el trabajo porque quería ver más del mundo. Viví un año en Seattle, Estados Unidos, donde descubrí el encanto del español hablado por personas de origen hispano. Me fascinaba el sonido de la lengua española. Al regresar a Japón, obtuve la certificación como profesora de japonés y me mudé a México, un país donde siempre había soñado hablar español. Trabajé como profesora de japonés y, fascinada por la belleza del paisaje mexicano, comencé a tomar fotografías. Finalmente viví allí durante casi 10 años. De nuevo en Japón, después de mi larga estancia en el extranjero, me di cuenta de la belleza de mi propio país y obtuve la certificación como guía turística para presentar Japón a los visitantes extranjeros. Mientras recorría todo Japón, tomé muchas fotos de paisajes (Algunas de las cuales exhibí en mi primera exposición en Tokio este verano, con gran éxito). Hace 6 años, decidí emprender y convertir mi pasión en mi trabajo. Durante la pandemia, con el aumento de emprendedores, perfeccioné mis habilidades como fotógrafa y he tomado más de 500 retratos. Después de la pandemia, he estado guiando y fotografiando a viajeros de habla hispana en Japón. Espero seguir capturando maravillosos recuerdos en Japón a través de mis fotografías. Estoy especialmente emocionada de compartir la belleza de Japón con visitantes de habla hispana. ¡Nos vemos en Japón!

Here in Kyoto, I offer tours where we slow down, walk together, and discover the city through its sounds — from temple bells and riversides to quiet backstreets.
