“Welcome to Wa-Japan, a blog where an Osaka local shares personal experiences and insights to answer the kinds of questions – from simple curiosities to more profound inquiries – that many foreigners have about Japan.
Ever wondered, ‘Why are Japanese hot springs so special?’, ‘What are the different ways to use bowing?’, or ‘What are Japanese people really thinking?’ We take actual questions like these, submitted by people like you, as our starting point.
From there, we delve deeply into Japanese culture, customs, history, and the values of its people.
Unlike many other websites that introduce Japan, we strive to go beyond surface-level information.
By offering an authentic perspective straight from Osaka, we aim to reveal the multifaceted appeal and true essence of Japan that you might otherwise miss.
Our goal is to help you achieve a much richer and deeper understanding of the country.”
