依知佳 Ichika

Ichioka  Masumi

My passion for international exchange blossomed during short-term study programs in the United States and Australia during my student years. These experiences ignited a dream to share the captivating beauty of Japanese culture with people from around the world.

In 2021, I became proficient in kimono dressing. Since 2022, I have been actively involved in the inbound tourism industry, gaining valuable experience as an instructor for various cultural activities. I've had the pleasure of directly introducing Japanese culture to many international visitors through hands-on experiences such as kimono dressing, tea ceremony, wagashi (Japanese sweets) making, and sushi making.

Currently, I am furthering my understanding of Japanese spiritual culture by diligently studying at an Urasenke tea ceremony school, a journey I embarked on in 2024.

Leveraging my language skills and practical experience in guiding cultural activities, I aspire to be a bridge fostering international mutual understanding by sharing the profound charm and exquisite culture of Japan with the world. I would be delighted to arrange a private tea ceremony experience for you. Please feel free to reach out.
