Although Hitomi has only traveled to Taiwan's capital city, she has visited Taipei several times and she said it is one of her favorite travel destinations for a short holiday. She feels that Taiwan's blend of traditional and contemporary in the daily lifestyle creates a "unique culture."

Over 75 products from 28 Taiwan manufacturers are on display at the KITTE shopping center in Tokyo now through July 15. During the presentation Hitomi marveled at a wireless speaker housed in a birdcage, impressed by the item's functionality and artistry.

Taiwan IoT products in particular have been met with commercial success in Japan, such as AR / VR devices and electric cars and bicycles, according to CNA.
