Jessica Kozuka

Freelance writer and editor Jessica Kozuka has been based in Tokyo since 2004, when a gap year turned into something more permanent. Her work has appeared in publications such as Wine Spectator, Travel+Leisure, CNN Travel, and The Japan Times. She has also edited Japan guidebooks for Luxe City Guides, Fodor's, and Jetstar Airlines. She is rarely to be found without a book or two within arm’s reach and runs a monthly book club for other bibliophiles in the Tokyo area. She's also an enthusiastic (if mediocre) cook and laments daily the smallness of Japanese kitchens.
