{"id":203,"name":"Kit Pancoast Nagamura","url":"","description":"I\u2019m an avid photographer, writer and travel advisor. My long-running column in the Japan Times, titled \u201cThe Backstreet Stories,\u201d covers the history, real lives, and amazing stories to be found behind the major thoroughfares of Tokyo. I\u2019ve appeared as a somewhat capable travel show host multiple times on NHK World\u2019s Journeys in Japan, and I\u2019ve served on several committees for travel development around Japan. My special interests include artisans, architecture, and the natural world. I also \r\n happen to be wild about haiku, and my newest book is titled \r\nGrit, Grace, and Gold (2020, Kodansha America, distributed by Penguin Random House).","link":"https:\/\/voyapon.com\/author\/kitn\/","slug":"kitn","avatar_urls":{"24":"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/01104245\/logo_voyapon-50x50.jpg","48":"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/01104245\/logo_voyapon-50x50.jpg","96":"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/01104245\/logo_voyapon-150x150.jpg"},"meta":{"web_stories_tracking_optin":false,"web_stories_media_optimization":true,"web_stories_onboarding":[]},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
