I want to know what Japan is like from people who actually live in Japan especially after seeing some misleading posts online from people who don’t live in Japan & people misunderstanding something resulting in people being misleadingly negative about Japan

    I’m not japanese but I want to travel there. We’ve discovered Takeshii from Japan on YouTube a while ago and I think he is doing a good job in capturing some opinions around different aspects of living in Japan. I’d say it’s worth checking.

      “Japanese people on lemmy, what is Japan actually like?” “I’m not japanese but…”

        “…here’s someone on YouTube who lives in Japan that does a good job of showing what living in Japan is really like.”

        Seriously, what was wrong with that?

        I don’t know of any Japanese who really know of Lemmy and I’ve never seen it mentioned online (though mastadon is at least somewhat known, but not by the average japanese). Also asking in English is going to limit the pool of respondants quite a bit. I’m not japanese but I’ve been living here since 2015 and speak japanese on a daily basis with my wife and family.

          I have seen them posting on mastodon and pixelfed

          But you do have to find them through Japanese specific tags which is easier when learning Japanese (日本語)

          You can search for “日本” which is the native name of Japan on mastodon or pixelfed that should give you some results

        I feel like Americans or Europeans would find the answers from the perspective of an American/European living in Japan more useful.

      I do watch him but I need to watch more of his videos as I’ve only seen a select few that intrest me so far

      I’d like to expand to more channels like his as well

      I had honestly forgotten about his channel when posting this question but it’s good to make this post because it does expand the scope of information on this subject to make it broader

          I’m subscribed to them because I saw their Japanese fridge video when searching for Japanese fridges on YouTube but haven’t yet watched the rest of their videos

          Thank you for reminding me of them
