Living in Japan
I've been living in Tokyo for nearly ten years now and absolutely love the place. Before I moved here, I've always wanted to live and work in Japan and am aware that there are many who feel the same.
In my Japan coverage, I write about Japanese culture and customs, share photos of my daily life, write about places to visit in Japan and obviously cover the crazy stuff - plenty of that here ;-)
As you explore the site, you will see thousands of other members from all over the world who are interested in livign and working in Japan.
I also write guides bases on my own experience -
buying a house,
looking for apartments,
working in Japan setting up a sole proprietorship,
learning Japanese etc.

Japan Portal for the latest articles.
Once just a hobby but is now part of my job. Being part of my job means that I am able to bring you exclusive figure coverage like
Max Factory office tour,
Good Smile Company office tour, behind the scenes on figure commerical shoots (
Figma CM), and occasionally get my hands on figures before they are released (
Nida Schuetlich).
I also cover most figure events like the Wonder Festival in the
Events category. Go to the
Figure Portal for the latest articles.
I get urges to wear my Stormtrooper armor and dance around Tokyo - all videos and behind the scenes photos in the
Stormtrooper Portal.
I also write
motivational articles from time to time which I incoporate into my other articles.
