Tomo lives in a studio apartment in an older are of Tokyo called Sangenjaya. My favourite thing about Tomo is her relaxed, open energy. My favourite thing about her place is the Japanese style bath. The Japanese bath experience I am told amounts to much more than just washing. Many Japanese people view sitting in their ofuro soaking tubs as an integral daily ritual similar to eating or sleeping.
