What happens when a young woman’s spontaneous trip turns into a lifelong adventure in Japan?

At just 24, Suzy left behind her familiar life in Israel, chasing the allure of the Far East. What began as a brief escape to Thailand—quickly turned into a bold leap into the unknown. There, she became a hostess in Tokyo, married a local businessman in a traditional Oriental marriage, and bravely adapted to Japanese culture, balancing stark contrasts between Israel and Japan.

This autobiography offers more than a tourist’s view of Japan, revealing the real challenges of cultural adaptation, relocation, and thriving as an expat in Japan. Suzy’s story is marked by love, loss, and resilience. She faced cancer, the economic crisis in Japan, the tsunami, and the Fukushima nuclear disaster—transforming every setback into an opportunity for growth.

From a young woman in her husband’s shadow to a thriving businesswoman, Suzy built a successful Japanese company, embraced Japanese traditions, and embarked on a true self-discovery journey.

Experience Suzy’s Tokyo memoir and see Japan through the eyes of someone who truly lived it.
