Soshina: The Quiet Japanese Tradition We Should All Copy🙏🏼
In Japan, there’s a quiet tradition called soshina — a small, thoughtful gift given to neighbours when you move in. It’s not about money. It’s about respect, connection, and starting off on the right foot.
Imagine if we all did this.

In this video, we explore the surprising differences in neighbour culture between the UK, Australia, and Japan. From warm welcomes and gift-giving customs (soshina) to sky-high fences and silent corridors — we dig into why some neighbours chat and others stay silent.
We also share the true story of how one knock on a door completely changed our life in Australia — and what history teaches us about what it really means to be a neighbour.
