a gaijin life

As a gaijin in Japan, I sometimes feel lost, upset, and unsure of what to do next. But along the way, I discovered something powerful: books. They’ve become a compass, guiding me through the maze of an immigrant life. 

Through these pages, I’ve found wisdom that has helped me overcome struggles, embrace growth, and build a life of meaning and joy here in Japan. And now, I want to share those lessons and experiences with you.

This blog is more than just a collection of recommendations or stories. It’s a space to connect, learn, and grow together. I hope that these books and the reflections I share—can inspire you, empower you, and guide you on your journey, wherever you are in the world. Let me share the ones that made all the difference.
