Here, I share real Japanese culture, food, and everyday life.
There’s a huge amount of information about Japan online, on TV, in magazines, and in manga. While much of it is entertaining, some of it is exaggerated or doesn’t reflect what everyday life in Japan is really like.
Through this blog, I hope you’ll discover a more authentic side of Japan before your visit.
For example:
- Do Japanese people eat sushi every day?
- Do we watch sumo every day?
- Do we take long baths every night?
Not really!
Here, you’ll find fun, honest, and realistic insights into everyday life in Japan.

A Little About Me
I’m a Japanese woman living in western Japan with my husband and our two children.
I previously lived in Canada and New Zealand, which inspired me to start writing about Japan in English. English isn’t my first language, but I hope my articles are easy to read and enjoyable.
When I’m not writing, you’ll usually find me trying new Japanese foods, searching for interesting convenience store products, or enjoying a good beer.
Thank you for visiting my blog.
I hope you’ll enjoy exploring Real Japan with me.
