Dominic Al-Badri

Dominic has lived in Japan since 1992. He wrote for the monthly English-language magazine Kansai Time Out from 1995 to 2009, when the magazine ceased publication, and was the editor between 1997 and 2004. He has also written for a number of newspapers and magazines including Private Eye, the Guardian, J@pan Inc., New Media Creative, and the Daily Yomiuri, and has contributed to more than ten travel guides to Japan. He is also the co-editor of "After the Great East Japan Earthquake: Political and Policy Change in Post-Fukushima Japan" (NIAS 2013). He currently lives and works in Tokyo, but is a regular visitor to Osaka and Kansai, which is really where his heart calls home.
