Featured Articles
Target Audience
  • English speakers and natives around the world
  • Those who want to discover more about Japan
  • Japanese language learners
Blog Philosophy I strive to provide clear, easy-to-understand explanations as your "friend living in Japan." I aim to describe not only the great things about Japan but also the things I find disappointing through my own perspective.
Why I Love Blogging
  • It has led me to observe my daily life more closely. Every day brings a new discovery!
  • I enjoy hearing feedback from people overseas and learning about the differences in our cultures.
  • I write my articles in Japanese and translate them into English using AI. I sometimes worry if it's reaching you correctly, but readers have been kind enough to point out my mistakes. I couldn't have continued without that support.
Current Struggles I wish I had more time to write articles!

My goal is to update every Friday, but since I want to keep this going for a lifetime, I plan to keep a sustainable pace without overworking.
