@mumlife_japanese_aya A Japanese mum learning English in Singapore 🇸🇬🇯🇵 I haven’t posted for over a week. I’ve been sharing my English-learning journey here for almost a year, so stopping for this long honestly made me really sad. But a lot has happened. We’re moving back to Japan. I love Japan. It’s safe, it’s convenient, and there are so many things I love about my country. But if I’m being honest, I’m also scared to go back. Living in Singapore has taught me that it’s okay to be different. It’s okay to have your own opinions, make mistakes, and choose your own way. And now I’m going back to a place where I sometimes feel like I’m expected to fit in. I love Japan, but living there isn’t always easy for me. I thought I had more time in Singapore. There were still so many things I wanted to do, so many people I wanted to meet, and so much more I wanted to experience. I wasn’t emotionally ready to leave. But maybe this is the beginning of a new chapter. I’ll keep learning English, making mistakes, and sharing my journey — wherever I am. 🇸🇬🇯🇵

There are some things that have changed in my personal life since moving to Japan. My views, feelings and actions.     5 ways Japan changed me in ways I’m not afraid to admit...    1️⃣ I’ve learned to hate my tattoos.  Tattoos are generally accepted in daily society except for gyms and onsens. But to beauty standards, they are not attractive. Over time, my mind has been tainted with the idea that my tattoos are no longer beautiful. If I still lived in America, I truly believe I would still think they are.    2️⃣ I would rather raise my kids in Japan than America.  After moving to Japan was the first time I ever considered wanting kids. Here, my kids would be safe, well educated, and have affordable healthcare. Although there are many aspects about America I wish my future kids could experience growing up in too, Japan would be more of a priority.     3️⃣ I judge myself for not learning Japanese sooner.  Many foreigners who move to Japan (including myself) for the first several months are quick to misjudge the need for Japanese. Yes, you can get by fine without it, but when you need to go to the doctor or handle other administrative tasks on your own it becomes necessary.     4️⃣ I feel misunderstood as an American immigrant.  Not many Americans move overseas and we get a bad reputation these days. Sometimes it’s confusing for people to comprehend the “American immigrant”. I get it. But I wish more people would get to know me personally before judging where I come from.     5️⃣ My world perspective has changed.  Things I didn’t understand fully before like learning a new language, struggling to fit into a new society, and just how far you can be away from your family. I’ve become fluent in adaptation and quick to curiosity.    Do any of these resonate with you?     #japanlife #softlife #intentionalliving #lifeabroad

I moved to Japan at 50 and chose Morioka, in northern Japan, over Tokyo. Not because Tokyo isn’t amazing, but because at this stage of my life, I wanted something quieter. More space, more nature, and a slower life for my son and me. This is the Japan that feels like home to me. #lifeinjapan #movingtojapan #startingoverat50 #morioka #slowliving

In a deeply moving and culturally profound moment caught on camera, a traditional shop in Japan was seen closing its doors for the final time after 74 years in business. The clip shows a crowd of loyal customers arriving to say their final goodbyes, prompting the elderly owner to step outside and perform a deep, emotional bow in profound gratitude for their decades of steadfast support. Someone captured the heartbreaking yet beautiful display of mutual respect, and the video quickly went viral. Viewers were deeply moved to tears and flooded social media to praise the incredible bond between the shop owner and the local community. Many commended the beautiful Japanese culture of respect and immense gratitude, while others expressed sadness over losing such historic and beloved local businesses. The video has become a massive topic of discussion among netizens who appreciate powerful, real-life moments that highlight lifelong dedication and community love. A bittersweet store closure turned into a viral symbol of honor proving that a lifetime of hard work leaves an unforgettable mark on people's hearts. #ViralVideo #Japan #EmotionalFarewell #JapaneseCulture #WholesomeMoment #TrendingNow #Respect

Since moving from Japan to Atlanta, my daughter has found a new confidence. She’s become more expressive, found her own style, and embraced a new culture. Watching her grow into herself has been one of the best parts of this journey. Stylist: @dommychoo Designer: @herbin.co #bestduo

How many days should you spend in Japan? 🇯🇵✈️ One of the biggest mistakes I see is trying to visit too many cities in one trip. More cities ≠ a better vacation. Moving between cities takes time, energy, and money. Sometimes, spending an extra day in one place creates a much better experience than adding another destination. 💬 Comment how many days you’re visiting Japan (or your travel dates), and I’ll tell you if your plan is realistic and what I’d change. 📩 If you want a custom itinerary designed around your interests, budget, and travel style, just DM me “PLAN” and I’ll help you build the most efficient route for your trip. Save this for your Japan planning! 🇯🇵⁡ #JapanTravel #VisitJapan #JapanTrip #JapanItiner

Thinking about moving to Japan? 🇯🇵 One of the biggest factors that shapes the expat experience isn't where you live... it's where your income comes from! For many foreigners, living in Japan can be especially advantageous when paired with remote work, overseas clients, investments, or other income sources outside Japan. Combined with Japan's safety, infrastructure, and cost of living, foreign-earned income can significantly increase your quality of life. If you're planning a move to Japan, it's worth considering not just visa options and housing, but also your long-term income strategy. Are you planning to work for a Japanese employer or bring your income with you? It will make a big difference. As always, feel free to sign up on japanremotely.com for a free consultation on how to move to Japan, on your own terms. #MoveToJapan #JapanImmigration #ExpatLifeJapan #LivingInJapan #JapanVisa

School in Japan & school in Australia 🇯🇵🇦🇺 So, I was actually born in Sendai, Japan and lived there until I was 4. I don’t remember much at all but I did 幼稚園 (preschool) in Japan before moving to the Gold Coast, Australia at 4 (where I did pre school again). From there, I did all of my schooling in Australia. One summer holiday, I was lucky enough to go to a Japanese school for one week for a schooling experience (which is what you can see here in this video) and I remember this moment so distinctly … realising I couldn’t really speak Japanese well like my peers, or as confidently, and standing up in front of the class feeling wildly shy and embarrassed. Looking back now, I realise that moment was probably one of the first times I became aware of being “between” two cultures. In Australia, I was often the Japanese kid. In Japan, I suddenly felt Australian. Such a strange feeling watching a younger version of yourself trying to find where you belong !!

Patience of a Buddha. It took a few hours to get this one, moving around to find the right spot, waiting for the planes and adjusting on the fly. We did it team. @dixonkwan @llittlepig #japan #photography #travel
