About Kana Chan

Hello, I’m Kana. Thank you for being here.

I’d love for you to think of me as your penpal, sharing a note from a small village in Japan. With Tending Gardens, I want to be like a postcard you receive from a friend — the small, but real, joy of a warm hello and accompanying story from everyday life.

I’m based in Kamikatsu, a small village in Japan known for its pioneering zero-waste initiatives. Here, I run an educational program called INOW, and I share my passion for nature and sustainability.
