How Can I be Accepted in Japan?

This is the question I get the most from my fellow viewers who are hoping to come to Japan.

It is true that Japanese people have a closed mindset, and given the fact that some speak and act in a discriminatory manner toward people from overseas, I can understand you being worried you may not be able to fit in.

Depending on where you go and who you meet the situation will of course be very different, but this would be my opinion… “Join a group of any kind and try to deepen your relationship with them”

The Japanese are cold to strangers, but they have a habit of befriending those they perceive as their friends. Therefore, in addition to school or work, it might be a good idea to learn some lessons or participate in volunteer activities.

My recommendation of course will be for you to try training in a traditional culture. The tea ceremony class I go to (for example) has many people from overseas, but we all get along well and enjoy training together.

You will need a lot of courage and you might have some difficult experiences, but I’m really hoping that everyone can make the best of their time in Japan.

I have a new dream… It is to raise money to enroll in a school to become a Japanese language instructor (an official qualification)! I promise you that I will become the best Japanese teacher who not only teaches Japanese, but is also familiar with Japanese history and traditional culture.

Things I want to do after I get the qualification:
-Free Weekly/Monthly Japanese lessons on YouTube LIVE
-Online private Japanese lessons
etc.
