About Rob
I'm a Tokyo-based writer and author originally from Devon in the UK. When I'm not giving myself RSI with my horrific desk posture, I love traveling around Japan to write stories that (I hope) open a bigger window on my adopted home, whether that's features on haiku and washi paper for National Geographic or covering the cat credited with saving a Japanese railway for the BBC. I also love hitting the road to research Lonely Planet guidebooks -– something that's taken me to parts of Japan I might otherwise never have experienced.
