What I Do

Machine translation gets the words right and the message wrong. I rewrite your content the way a Japanese reader expects to read it: tone, structure, search intent and all.

01

English → Japanese Localization

Blog posts, guides and product pages adapted for the Japanese market. Not translated word-for-word, but rebuilt to feel native, with cultural context, local search behavior and brand voice included.

02

Japanese SEO Writing

Original articles written in Japanese, from keyword research to final draft. My articles hold #1 positions on Google Japan for multiple travel-related keywords.

03

Translation & Review

JA ↔ EN translation and native review of existing Japanese content. I flag what reads unnaturally, what confuses Japanese readers, and what would perform better rewritten.
