Ep.8 Reverse Culture Shock!

Although we were born and raised in Japan, we have been living in the US for a long time.  Because of this, we often experience“Reverse Culture Shock” when we are back in Japan.  “Reverse Culture Shock” refers to the psychological and emotional challenges that a person may experience when returning to their home country or culture after an extended period of time living abroad. This often occurs when a person finds it difficult to re-adjust to a once familiar environment.  In this episode, we talk about our experiences with reverse culture shock.  Mari, who just came back from Japan, starts our discussion with how difficult it was for her.  We hope you can enjoy this episode and look forward to hearing about your similar experiences!!

Ep. 5 What are the best times and places to visit Japan?

Based on listener comments, this episode focuses on providing advice on the best times and places to visit Japan when traveling there for the first time. We also make sure to let everyone know about the importance of visiting "convenience stores" (you will be amazed!).   For the best times, both spring and autumn are recommended. Spring is cherry blossom season when you can enjoy their beauty in full bloom. The cherry blossom season typically runs from late March to early April and is in a word stunning. Autumn is also a great time due to the colorful fall foliage, which can be observed in many places from October to November.   Among the best places to visit both Kyoto and Tokyo are fantastic choices. Kyoto boasts traditional Japanese culture and historical landmarks, including beautiful temples and gardens. In contrast, Tokyo blends modern and traditional aspects and offers a wide range of activities and attractions.   When it comes to convenience stores, they are an integral part of Japanese culture. Japanese convenience stores are incredibly convenient, offering a variety of foods, beverages, and everyday items. Many of them are open 24 hours, making them useful during your sightseeing. Well-known convenience store chains include 7-Eleven, Lawson, and FamilyMart. You can enjoy various local bento boxes, sweets, onigiri (rice balls), and more.  No matter which season or place you choose, you'll undoubtedly be able to experience captivating aspects of Japan. Enjoy your trip!!! We love to hear from you, so please send us your comment. E-mail : samuraigirlsinamerica@gmail.com

aflevering Ep.4 Is Japan an international and foreigner-friendly country? artwork

Ep.4 Is Japan an international and foreigner-friendly country?

When we visit Japan, we really start to sympathize with how difficult traveling there and communicating with the native Japanese people might be for foreigners. Indeed, there are many factors that can be challenging for non-Japanese speakers, such as a complex language with a unique writing system (Kanji/Hiragana/Katakana) that is not intuitive to read/understand and the relative absence of English translations as well as information overload, cultural symbols, directional complexity etc. Despite these difficulties and the fact that most Japanese people don't speak English fluently, Japan is a relatively international and foreigner-friendly destination due to the combination of politeness, technology, tourism services, and cultural acceptance. Foreigners are willing to communicate with Japanese people and we are sure Japanese people are willing to assist and accommodate visitors. Don't hesitate to communicate with each other! To non-Japanese speakers: Please be patient with Japanese people and speak slowly when you speak in English with them. To Japanese people: Please be brave and take one step forward to use your English. Enjoy talking in English! Thanks!
