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.
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
These people have been living there since like 2011 or something. I don’t think it’s clickbait style stuff, and they give breakdowns on how some stuff works (like they bought a house last year)
“Japanese people on lemmy, what is Japan actually like?” “I’m not japanese but…”
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.
“Japanese people on lemmy, what is Japan actually like?” “…”
wow that’s so much better than people trying to help!
