About
Welcome to Japan Online Tour
Hi, I'm Kazue 👋
A Japan-based curator, content creator, and lifelong admirer of Japanese craftsmanship — writing to you from my home in Kobe.
Our Story
Japan Online Tour began during the Covid-19 pandemic.
When the world stopped traveling, I wanted to bring Japan to the people who couldn't visit — so I started live virtual tours, walking through temples, markets, and hidden corners of Japan in real time.
Over 410,000 people around the world joined me on that journey.
Now, Japan Online Tour is evolving.
I'm taking everything I've learned — the craftspeople I've met, the workshops I've visited, the stories behind extraordinary Japanese objects — and bringing those things directly to you.
And soon? I'll be going live from the very workshops and studios where these objects are made — so you can meet the makers yourself.
This isn't just a shop. It's a journey into the heart of Japan.
Why Japan Online Tour?
I started this shop to bridge the gap between Japan's extraordinary makers and the world that deserves to discover them.
With over 410,000 followers across Instagram and Facebook, I've seen firsthand how much people around the world crave authentic, meaningful connections to Japanese culture — not just souvenirs, but objects with stories.
Every product in this shop is personally selected by me. I ask three questions before listing anything:
- ✅ Is it genuinely Made in Japan?
- ✅ Does it reflect real craftsmanship, innovation, or beauty?
- ✅ Would I be proud to give this as a gift?
If the answer is yes to all three, it earns a place here.
