Discover The Heart of Japan

 

Welcome to The Heart of Japan, where stories unfold and journeys begin. Explore my unique travel memoir and join me as we delve into the fascinating culture of Japan. I'm thrilled to share my experiences with you and invite you to be a part of this adventure.

The Journey Begins

Little did I know that a chance meeting with a Japanese high school teacher at the edge of a lake in Canada would be the first link in a chain of events leading me to Japan.

About me

Based in New Westminster, British Columbia, I am Lesley Hebert, the author of The Heart of Japan.

My journey to Japan with my family ignited my passion for Japanese culture and inspired me to write this memoir. I invite you to learn more about my journey and discover Japan through my eyes.
