Rikka (Beginning of Summer) - Kurashiki Tocotoco

Ritsuka

I moved from Aichi Prefecture to Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture, for a job. I work for a chemical manufacturer on weekdays.

I enjoy visiting cafes and bookstores, and spend my days off exploring different places.
Through my reporting, I hope to learn about what makes each shop special and the stories of the people behind them, and share them with others.
