Twelve years ago, Yoko-san immigrated to New Zealand and now, as a Japanese female entrepreneur, she has launched multiple businesses and projects in Auckland.
Can you imagine starting a business abroad? It's incredible to see the thriving business scene in Auckland, where stylish shops abound!
So, we sat down with Yoko-san to hear her story. Here are some of the highlights:

Beautiful Japanese ceramics and lifestyle goods that are hard to find even in Japan!
