Here I describe Japanese observances, behavior, affairs and so on. These scenes look normal for us Japanese, but may look very special and cool for non-Japanese. Inside of those scenes there are Japanese heart and soul which cannot be seen from outside of Japan. I try to illustrate our daily life with the stories behind.
Why I start this blog?
Many foreigners visit Japan recently. According to recent statics of JTB(Japan Travel Bureau), 17.77 million foreigners visited Japan in the first half of 2024 and 33.10 million is expected through the whole year, the highest number in the history. Asked why come to Japan, and replied they like Japan, are impressed by many things that we Japanese usually feel normal. Furthermore, many say “It’s Cool!”. Why?
Now there are a lot of books and Internet site introducing sightseeing spots, gourmet restaurants, shopping stores or accommodation and etc. ,but they are just surface of Japanese life. From my viewpoint as a Japanese living here for several decades, not so many of these medias can show details of real life nor Japanese heart and soul. I would like foreign people visiting Japan to know more about Japan of which is good point of our culture, manners, customs, and heart and soul behind.
I am the person having experienced to work for the Japanese electronics company manufacturing home appliances as a department general manager of product planning for overseas market, and there I experienced the marketing job and obtained the capability to observe the foreign people’s lifestyle of targeted market.
I , with such experience , now start to put my eyes to my own country’s, that is Japan’s, life and mind, and try to illustrate them more deeply which is hard to be seen from outside.
I wish you to know more about Japanese life and its value through my posts.
