"I made plans to travel indefinitely, and I began with a year visiting 16 countries across Asia and Europe but Japan checked all the boxes for me in a way that nowhere else did."
"During that time, I found a few jobs and traveled around the country. I became especially interested in rural towns after discovering kagura, a performing art rooted in Japanese mythology."
"As my visa was nearing its end, I wasn't ready to leave. I started looking for ways to stay and came across the business manager visa."
"I have dual Australian and American citizenship and a mix of different ethnicities. I was born in Tanzania, raised in Australia, and moved to the US when I was 15."
Kira Bella, CEO of Kirameki, moved to Japan on a working holiday visa after extensive travel. She became involved in the local culture through kagura, a traditional performing art. Bella developed a rural revitalization business idea to extend her stay in Japan, ultimately obtaining a business manager visa. With dual Australian and American citizenship, her diverse background and upbringing influenced her integration into Japanese life. Bella's journey reflects her commitment to community and cultural exchange in her adopted home.
