About Us
Author
Mikan Tokachi
I’m a Japanese local, born and raised in Japan.
After spending a year living in Germany and traveling to different parts of the world, I became more aware of the small cultural differences that often confuse visitors to Japan.
Through this blog, I share practical tips and insights to help international travelers explore Japan more easily and enjoy their time here to the fullest.
In my free time, I practice Aikido, a traditional Japanese martial art, simply because I enjoy it and find it a great way to stay connected to Japanese culture.
If you enjoy this blog and my perspective, I’d be happy if you considered me for translation work from English or German into Japanese.

Spanning the world,
Connecting cultures.
Through translation, publishing, and creative content, we work to bridge Japan and the rest of the world by sharing Japanese culture internationally and bringing global ideas and insights to audiences in Japan.
We hope our work helps people discover new excitement in unfamiliar cultures and perspectives, and makes different languages and ways of thinking feel more accessible. Through content that shares cultural context and experiences, we aim to support communication that feels natural, open, and welcoming across cultures.
