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 seven times, the last time in May 2024, and I’m currently planning trip eight. I know that planning a Japan trip can get really confusing so I started Japlanease to try and make the whole process that little bit easier. You’ll find more about me, and working with Japlanease, on our About Page.
