Hi everyone, my name is Anyja! I’ll be studying abroad in Kyoto, Japan for my final college semester. I’m from Brooklyn, New York and I’m excited to share my experiences as a Black woman in Japan for the very first time. I’m an avid traveler and language learner so I hope you all enjoy my global perspective. I hope to be able to broaden my knowledge about the Japanese language, culture, and cuisines during my time in Kyoto and discover off-the-beaten path spots that truly make the city special.
