Louise has had long relation to Japan since she was very young and when it was time for her to choose what to study after graduating high school she decided to study Japanese at Stockholm University, at least to start with. But the more she studied the language as well as about Japanese history, society and culture the more she was determined to learn more and hopefully work in Japan or with Japan in Sweden.

In the middle of her studies at Stockholm University she took a two year break to study at Sophia University, Tokyo, before returning to Sweden to graduate. Her longing to go back to Japan continued to be strong and a few months after graduating at Stockholm University at 2013 she returned to Japan for work until November 2016.

Her experiences, love and interest for Japan led her to nowadays bringing groups to Japan and show them around the country. She has brought groups on tours lasting so far around 1 – 2 weeks showing them around in eg. Kyoto, Nara, Hiroshima, Kanazawa, Tokyo, etc.
