Our Authors

The blog articles on TOKYOwebzine are written by a small, hand-picked group of freelance writers who share one thing in common: a genuine passion for Tokyo and its innovation, tradition, culture, and stories.

Each contributor brings their own background and beat to the publication. Together, they cover the topics that matter most to our readers, with the independence and depth that only good freelance journalism can offer.

Ashley Brooks

Ashley Brooks grew up in San Francisco and arrived in Tokyo as a travel blogger with a one-way ticket and a notebook. Six years later, she is the go-to voice for anyone navigating Tokyo as a newcomer, expat, or curious visitor. From hidden izakayas in Shimokitazawa to the best cherry blossom routes outside the guidebooks, her writing is practical, warm, and always honest about what it really means to live in one of the world's most fascinating cities.

Camille Dufour

Camille Dufour left Paris for Tokyo on a photography assignment and never went back. Nine years later, she writes about the city's extraordinary lifestyle scene: from Harajuku's avant-garde fashion to the meditative rituals of a traditional Tokyo bathhouse. Her work celebrates the surprising harmony between French and Japanese aesthetics, two cultures that share a deep reverence for craft, gastronomy, beauty, and daily ritual.

Hiroshi Tanaka

Hiroshi Tanaka studied economics at the University of Tokyo and spent a decade at a leading Japanese investment bank before turning to journalism. He writes about Japan's evolving tech ecosystem, corporate transformation, and Tokyo's role as Asia's premier financial hub. His work bridges traditional Japanese business culture with the digital economy reshaping the country from the inside out.
