Who Writes Japlanease?
That’s me there, with the waving cats… I’m Helen Foster, a Sydney-based journalist, author, and Japanophile. I’ve been to Japan eight times, the last time in November 2024, and I’m currently planning trip nine. I know that planning a Japan trip can get confusing, so I started Japlanease to try and make the whole process a bit easier. Find more about me, and working with Japlanease, on our About Page.
