Since the great Japanese earthquake and tsunami disaster of 2011, she has been traveling throughout the Fukushima area. In 2013 she became the Fukushima Tourism Ambassador and continues to hold workshops at temporary housing where some of the disaster victims still live. She then travels the world, sharing stories of the beauty and peace that is found, even after extreme disasters such as the one Fukushima experienced. Don't miss this special opportunity.
