My name is Johann Fleuri, and I am a French-born journalist based in Tokyo since 2015. Japan permanent Correspondent for Ouest-France and Mediapart, I also write features for magazines such as Tempura, La Gazette des femmes (Canada), among others. 

I have been working as a reporter since 2007, after graduating in Modern Literature and Journalism at the University of Nantes (France). I discovered Japan in 2009 during a one-year stay in the archipelago: I fell for the country and nurtured the project of living here. In 2013, I won the Robert Guillain Prize for my project on the recovery of the tsunami-damaged area, Tohoku. After many trips between France and Japan, I started living in Tokyo in 2015 as a permanent correspondent.

I published two books : "Portraits de Tokyo" (Hikari editions, 2017) and "Tokyo petit atlas hédoniste" (Éditions du chêne, 2020).
