General questions regarding tourism (shopping, hotels, sightseeing, food, etc) and life in Japan as an expat/exchange student (visa, cell phones, transportation, etc). I know Tokyo very well, but I'm also familiar with Kyoto, Nara, and Fukuoka. I can help with etiquette, manners, and social situations. I'm also fairly well versed in the Japanese healthcare system (from my experience as a patient). | |

I`m always willing to give help, or at least my opinions on things related to Japan. I think I'm especially strong at helping out non-native Japanese speakers with the language. Also, helping others understand the culture, such as U.S. businessmen who have to do business with Japanese. I'm not doing translations right now, unless it's just a phrase or a word. More of a language and general Japanese culture guy than a travel/history expert.
PLEASE NOTE: I cannot answer questions about the following:
Sorry for the inconvenience! |

I can answer questions about daily life in Japan, modern Japanese culture, Japanese language including conversational Japanese, reading and writing, basic immigration law, family register issues, and general information about living, working, and raising a family in Japan. I can't answer questions about Japanese history except as it relates to modern lifestyles, criminal law in Japan, or specific questions about anime, manga, and other aspects of pop culture except as they relate to an overall understanding of Japanese culture. I cannot help you find your long-lost or estranged family members. Please contact a professional private investigator for people searches. Thank you. | |
