Heather writes the blog Appetite For Japan. She says: "My blog, Appetite for Japan, has been running for about 1.5 years thus far (since November 2014). I update it approximately once a week. Appetite for Japan has a focus on fun, modern places to see, things to do and food to eat in Japan. I travel to Japan regularly, visiting theme restaurants theme hotels, and events such as Halloween. I only write about places that I have personally visited and aim to provide readers with useful information to help them plan their own Japan trips."
