Marie creator behind @Tabimawari

Hi, I’m Marie.

French islander from Reunion island, Japan lover, and travel planner behind Tabimawari.

I spent a year living in Kyoto, learning Japanese and falling in love with the culture. Since then, I’ve kept going back, exploring every corner from Tokyo to the tiniest hidden towns.

I created these guides after spending months planning, testing, and fine-tuning every detail so you don’t have to. Inside, you’ll find:

✅ Interactive maps
✅ Step-by-step directions
✅ Local spots + travel tips
✅ Offline use

Each guide is made with care, based on real-life travel, not generic blog advice.

This is what I wish I had on my first trip to Japan and now it’s yours.
