Why Some Foreigners Leave Japan After Years | なぜ私たちは日本を去ったのか
Description:
What is it really like to live in Japan as a foreigner? In this episode, three long-term expats share their real experiences of moving to Japan, finding housing, working in Japan, and learning Japanese. We talk about the challenges foreigners face — apartment discrimination, language barriers, culture shock, expat isolation, and burnout — along with the parts of Japan that changed our lives forever.
We also discuss why some foreigners decide to leave Japan after years of living here, and what it feels like to carry Japan with you even after moving away.
