Many foreigners worry about being rude in Japan, even when they don’t mean to be. This show focuses on Japanese manners, etiquette, and ways of thinking—especially situations that are often misunderstood unintentionally.I’m a Japanese host currently living in Canada and studying English. Having lived in multiple regions of Japan, I share real experiences, practical tips, and authentic phrases that textbooks often don’t teach.If you want to understand how Japanese people really think, feel more confident when traveling in Japan, and create more comfortable interactions between foreigners and locals, this podcast is for you.
