ROB GOSS

Rob is a British writer living in Tokyo, covering travel and culture in Japan for several publications, including National Geographic Traveler, BBC Travel and The Economist’s 1843. His recent Japan trips have seen him meditating under chilly waterfalls with Yamabushi monks and attempting to interview the cat credited with saving a railway from bankruptcy. For this issue, he travels to Osaka, home to Japanese multinationals and a mouth-watering food scene. See page 38.
