What is it about Tokyo?
Why do so many people dislike Tokyo? In this episode, I share my thoughts from Nagoya, where I’m filming at a park in the city on a lovely autumn day.Tokyo is so huge that it’s easy to judge the whole place by Shibuya Crossing and packed trains on the Yamanote Line. But just a few stations away, the city can feel completely different. I talk about why I think that gap catches so many visitors off guard (and why I used to think the same way).This episode was inspired by my friend Tracy’s video over at Weekly Fascination.

The Unexpected Expenses of the Expat in Japan
Moving to Japan? Here are the costs nobody warns you about. In this video I go through the unexpected expenses of life as an expat, from emergency flights home to wedding cash gifts. Japan's reputation as a cheap paradise is only half the story. These costs aren't sudden to Japanese people, they're just unknown to the rest of us. Every family is different, so if I've missed something, add it in the comments. I'd love to learn about it.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ohazassu-podcast--5905520/support.

Can We Make Learning Kanji Easier? Here's What Helped Me
Learning kanji can feel impossible, especially when a single character can have four, five, even six different readings.In this episode I chat about a few things that helped me over the years: thinking of kanji as words rather than letters, how radicals start to make sense once you know your first hundred or so, why each new kanji makes the next one easier, and the little memory trick I used to stop mixing up the Japanese word for corn.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ohazassu-podcast--5905520/support.

Why I'd Choose Nagoya as a Travel Base in Japan
Is Nagoya the smartest place to stay in Japan? After about 15 years living here, I think it's one of the most overlooked travel bases in the country.From Nagoya you can reach Kyoto in about 35 minutes, Osaka in about 45, Tokyo in 1 hour 40, and places like Takayama and Matsumoto in around 2 hours. Hotels are usually cheaper than in Tokyo or Osaka, and you still get all the conveniences of a major city without the crowds.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ohazassu-podcast--5905520/support.
