working moms in japan Archives - The Wagamama Diaries

Hi, I’m Teni. I’m the founder and editor of The Wagamama Diaries, an independent publication sharing thoughtful stories about life in Japan.

For more than twenty years, I’ve explored Tokyo one neighborhood, skincare product, café, and cultural experience at a time. Here you’ll find honest recommendations, in-depth guides, and practical advice rooted in firsthand experience.

Whether you’re visiting Japan or have lived here for years, I hope this magazine helps you discover something new.
