About — the founder

Founder of LUMA

Born in Aichi, based in Yokohama. A 9-year resident of Brisbane, Australia. Bilingual EN/JA. All four services are delivered personally by the founder.

Founder of LUMA

"A change of environment changes a life."

I moved to Australia at 15 and lived there for nine years. Back in Japan I built parallel practices — English education, photography, and community organising. Since 2022, I've hosted "S.League," a health-mahjong community that has grown to 23 events and 347 cumulative participants over four years.

My theme: support self-confidence with words and shared experience. Every service is built one-on-one, around you.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common pre-booking questions. For anything not covered here, please reach out via the contact form.

Tokyo and the Greater Tokyo area, with online sessions available worldwide for English lessons and counselling. On-location photo shoots cover Tokyo and Yokohama by default; other areas are possible with travel costs added.
Absolutely. Built on 9 years living and working in Australia, lessons span beginner / intermediate / advanced, business English, and IELTS / TOEIC prep — all tailored. Your first free consultation is for setting goals and a roadmap together.
It depends on session type, location, duration, and number of photos — every quote is free. Profile (30 min), family or commemorative (60–90 min), and pre-wedding / on-location are the main formats. Photographed on the Nikon Z6III with same-day or next-day delivery. Travel costs may apply.
Since 2022, 23 events have welcomed 347 cumulative participants. Each tournament hosts 16–20 players over ~10 hours (typically Saturdays), at ¥8,000–¥8,300 per session (varies by event). Pros and recent beginners alike take part — health mahjong, no betting, no alcohol. First-time guests get walkthrough support, and every participant receives a parting gift plus prizes for ranking.
Yes — LUMA Path is fully open to inbound travellers. Half-day (3–4 hrs) or full-day (8 hrs) private tours for 2–6 people, custom-built around your interests and theme. Allergy-aware and gluten-free dining are personal priorities, not afterthoughts.
Use the contact form at the bottom of the site. Available 24/7; you'll usually hear back within two business days, followed by a 30-minute Zoom or in-person consult. Even if you're undecided about the service, please feel free to reach out.
