Day in the life working in Japan (living that Spirited Away life)

Starting from September 1st, I worked for one month in the temple lodge Kakurinbo, lying hidden in the mountains of Minobu, Yamanashi prefecture. I was in Japan on working holiday visa, and this was my first working experience. Being there, I was able to experience the old, traditional culture as well as the local culture, and felt the impact of working full time in a Japan, as the workplace rules, spoken and unspoken, in some aspects deviate from what I have been used to before. It was fascinating to take note of with time.

Feel free to ask me for tips and tricks regarding working visa, how I found jobs in Japan, being a foreginer in Japan etc.

This was a complicated video to make. Lots of clips to tie together. I know it's a bit low-pace and many clips look rough and shaky. I worked with what I had. Home-made quality haha:p
