My small story is that my heritage is Irish and Japanese, my great great grandmother lived in japan and I want to find out more about my Japanese heritage, so I want to go and live in japan.
 
Never have been to Japan,
but I'm really amazed by its architecture and the Japanese life philosophy is quite bizarre and interesting, so I would like to go there someday on a really extended trip to be able to absorb its culture at least partly..
 
I'm half Japanese and I lived in Japan for most of my childhood. I don't live in Japan now but I want to go back there someday
 
I live in Australia. Been to Japan twice and would love to go back
 
I have lived in Japan for about 10 years now. I came here for a college summer holiday and met my wife on the 5th day I was here. Married a few months later xD. Not likely to be leaving Japan anytime soon, I love it here!
 
HI everyone!
My name is Takavar. i`m coming from Iran... and i intend to go to Japan i just don`t know how. does anyone can help me with that?
i love Japan on god knows how many aspects! I love their history, i love the music, the art, the culture... even the modern arts, mangas and animes (if you recognize my avatar (Haganenorenkinjutsushi) you know what i mean).
i even learned to plant Bonsai trees, i know about shoguns, about samurai and ninjas, about ancient stories maybe sometimes more than i know about my culture!
anyway, i really love to find some Japanese friends who can share their thoughts with me. so if there is anyone, just let me know.
Respects from your Iranian friend.
 
I have lived in Japan for two years on the JET program and currently work for a Japanese company, so I sometimes go for business.
My interest started in elementary school, where one of my classmates was Japanese and brought Japanese books to class. From there I was really into Japanese robots and technology (cell phones mostly, before iPhone).
 
My housemate moved to Tokyo nearly 27 years ago. I promised him I'd pop over to see him before the year was out and did so in Dec '89. I stayed for 6 weeks (5 in Tokyo and 1 travelling all over) and fell in love with the country. When I got back to the UK I studied the language and made annual trips to Japan over the next 3 or 4 years... then my friend went missing after his divorce. This was pre-internet remember. One of his ex-pupils (whom I'd met a couple of times) informed me he'd surfaced in Nerima living with another former pupil. Aha! So - after a 4 year gap I started going again... and did that until 2008. Then I got divorced so was skint. I managed to save enough to start going again in 2012 and have been making 2 trips a year since then. My Japanese reading skills are atrocious (but I'm re-learning) and spoken is basic (so much forgotten over the years but I'm improving again), listening is actually better.

I'm hurtling towards retirement and intend to spend some extended time in Japan - perhaps even living there. Early days in my research but I think it'll happen.

Hello
 
I plan to go to Japan in 2017, possibly in April/May or in December/January (so after 1.5 or 2 years). I am especially interested in the language, in its culture, and in the cultural differences between Japan and Western Europe/United States.

When I arrive in Japan, I want to know Japanese pretty well.
 
I will marry my Japanese fiancée May and then move to Japan in July.
So I have a lot of bureaucracy and language learning in front of me.
 
While doing research on a main character for a novel I wrote. The main character is a Japanese man in colonial North America in 1755.
 
I am a content creator in Tokyo. I do street interviews, OmeTV language content, purely language learning content and more. You can find me by searching Josh The Interpreter Japan on Youtube. I'd appreciate all the support I can get and I hope you can learn about Japan, the people and the language on my channel! Let me know if you have any requests too
 
It depens if sommeone is free to do so and finds you cute inough , the world is not a very big place nnymore as it uset to be.
 
Ex japenese girlfriend who introduced me to japenese culture and much later two visits to Japan but I couldn't find my ex. Made it from Tokyo to Hitoshima. It was amazing but for one sob at the jal desk who wouldn't allow me on board
