Answering ALL your Questions about Japan! | Q+A v10

I get several messages a day, about a hundred a month, and I don't really get a chance to answer them all. So here's a single LONG video trying to explain how you can get your questions about Japan answered. The TL;DW is to Google it because I probably don't know.
I did create a FAQ page on the Life Where I'm From Website that does answer some basic questions www.lifewhereimfrom.com/faq/. It also lists all the sites I talk about in the video.

You're doing a great job on KZbin. The videos are very informative and feel very well researched. I particularly enjoyed the ones about school life, retirement homes and the homeless. I haven't really seen such clear and long videos about these subjects.

Have you considered making a videos on Japanese teas? I'm not talking about fancy, tea-house ones, but rather the ones you find at a supermarket. I say this because even though I've been living in Japan for 9 months I keep discovering new teas, as there's really a crazy amount.

Suggestion: Become the English 吉田類 and do a 酒場放浪記 :-) In seriousness, I think there is a huge lack of information about izakayas, the kind of food you can get there, how to find a nice non-touristy place, how to order, what kinds of food to expect, etc. In return for thinking of this idea I'll try to answer the "What should I do for a Japan trip" question :-) This is kind of a fun "secret" place: If you fly into Narita Airport, consider staying overnight in Narita instead of Tokyo. Narita is a small city, but it's only something like 20 minutes from the airport by train. Many hotels even have a free shuttle bus. When you are in Narita, there is a small old city which snakes its way down the hill from the JR train station to Naritasan Shinshoji temple with its impressive Great Pagoda of Peace. From the temple you can walk to Naritasn park which has a beautiful koi pond and also houses a caligraphy museum. Narita itself is a wonderful city that caters to tourists. There are English signs everywhere and most shops can manage a little English. It is, however, *very* Japanese. I find that it provides a great place to dive into Japanese culture without having to swim in the deep end ;-) As for food and drink, I can highly recommend the one okonomiyaki shop in the town. It is *very* small and very old and there is a good chance that you will have to sit on the floor, but the food is fantastic (Try the gyouza okonomiyaki!) For izakayas, if you exit the Keisei line station (on the hill), walk towards the JR line station and then turn left just past the bus station, there are a variety of nice places to have something to eat and drink. I don't live anywhere near Narita, but this is literally my top recommendation for people on their first day in Japan. If you have the time, please give it a try!

[@LifeWhereImFromX]

MagicalTrip actually does Izakaya hopping places! Good suggestion about Narita.

[@metrotorful]

I sent you a long emailabout how you inspired me, and your reply was a few words reply. At the time I was a little disappointed, but now I realize that was quite selfish of me. KZbin just makes it seem that you can connect with your favorite channels so easily, that people like me forget our messages accumulate and can overwhelm, even if they're nice. I appreciate your videos all the same, and wish you great luck! Oh for the question, how's the documentary coming along?

[@LifeWhereImFromX]

I don't think it was being selfish at all, so please don't see it that way. Yeah, like I said, it's just something I find hard to respond to. I'm much better dealing with direct questions than I am with people showing gratitude. The documentary is coming along. I'm doing a few shoots a month for it. It'll be a ton of editing next year!

[@Krieghandt]

What should I ask, if I don't have a question?

[@MrsTeenagewiccan]

The question that is biggest in my mind is how japan really treats mental health issues. I’ve looked into going abroad for college there but I do struggle with mental health and am medicated. I worry would I even be able to get a physiatrist to prescribe me my medication? I’m stable so i don’t think worrying about having treatment would be an issue. More that I still go to therapy a few times a month and I need medication. Would needing these things prevent me from being able to live in japan ?

[@tokyorosa]

This is a good question for google, I think. When I lived in Tokyo, I could find therapists and other mental health services for English-speakers living there. You can easily find them online. This is probably less true in smaller cities/communities, so you would have to carefully consider where you live. One of my coworkers who moved to Sapporo had a very serious medical condition that required medication and he was able to live and work quite happily there, working with his own doctors at home and the doctors in Japan.

[@LifeWhereImFromX]

Yeah, this probably is a question best for Google or some of those subreddits. I have absolutely zero knowledge about mental health in Japan unfortunately. Good luck.

[@jackshannon912]

Hi Greg! I wanted to ask you about being mixed race in Japan and Canada. Like what were your experiences like and your children? I am also mixed as well and I wanted to know things about your mixed identity, if there is a mixed community, and how your kids and people around them define their japaneseness

[@LifeWhereImFromX]

On the main channel I did a video on being mixed race with my brothers (this was about our experiences in Canada though). I don't think people in Japan even realize I'm mixed race (I've asked people what they think I am before). I think more generally I'm just seen as a foreign looking person. I've asked my kids over the years about how they feel in Japan being hafu, but the response I tend to get is that they feel Japanese just like any other kid. At this stage in their lives it doesn't seem to be a big deal for them.

[@kinggrantking]

I'm curious of your perspective as a westerner living in Japan: Do you think the way that Japanese children are raised to be considerate, respectful, even quiet is capable of being replicated by parents in the US? Is the reason Japanese kids rarely screech or cry or whine in public simply due to cultural differences we can't replicate individually, or is it possible to raise kids as an American parent of an American child in a way that makes them as kind, respectful, and considerate as Japanese children? Thanks for all your videos!

[@LifeWhereImFromX]

Working on the assumption that in general Japanese kids are better behaved than American kids in public, is there something that can be changed in the U.S. to achieve similar results? One of the big themes I've wanted to talk about is the centralized government in Japan. Things like education and healthcare, they are areas where the national government has a lot of control over. This creates nationwide standards and I think it allows for a more uniform and equal level of education and healthcare across the country. However, in general, Japan is a more collective society than the U.S. I kind of feel like Canada falls somewhere in the middle. I think it would take generations and that desire to change for anything significant to happen in the U.S. And lately, it's felt like the U.S. has gotten even more individualistic, or more us vs. them, so the opposite of collectivist. As an individual parent, you can raise your kid however you like, so I'm assuming that will have a large influence on how your child behaves. But the overall culture they live in day to day must have a strong influence as well. This is all only my opinion of course :-)

[@palmtreesmusic1945]

@Grant King, many children in the US are relatively polite, considerate as well. It really depends individually. There are plenty of American youths who behave well, and there are Japanese youths/children who behave badly. Poorly behaved people exist everywhere.

[@thegalaxyairsoft]

Regarding your question on your reply to people's messages: I think thank you messages should be seen more as fan mail. You look through and appreciate the fan mail you get, but you don't have to reply. If you were to reply to every message, you'd spend many hours a month dedicated to just that. If I were to ever send you a thank you message myself, I'd be content with just seeing that you read the message, or maybe quick emoji to show that you read it. My 2c!

Hello my friend, fellow Canadian here. I recently spent a semester studying in Japan and I loved it. I plan on returning to school this fall so I can earn my degree and then apply for the JET program so I can move back to Japan. But I don't know how I can move to Japan more permanently beyond that other than finding a Japanese girl to marry.

[@LifeWhereImFromX]

If you get here on JET, you'll have time to find other jobs, or even jobs in the same field. If you learn Japanese well enough to communicate at a business level, you should be able to find work in some area. Once you have steady work, you just have to bide your time until you can either apply for citizenship (5 years) or permanent residency (10 years). This is the short and quick answer, but in general, it's not more difficult than that.

[@cliffhanger5753]

@@LifeWhereImFromX Thanks for your reply. I was a pretty popular guy in Japan because I look like Lupin the third.

I think most comments don't require a response. For long, heartfelt messages, a short reply (a few variations of which which you could even compose ahead of time, something along the lines--as you suggest--of, "Thank you for sharing your story. Good luck on your Japan adventures! --Greg") would suffice. I'm sure most of your viewers know that you have many obligations and demands on your time and spending hours reading and responding to comments is (and should be!) far down on your list, after family/children, work, etc. Before I moved to Japan, I spent a LOT of time online looking at resources for people moving there, finding out about my workplace and local community, as well as looking at recommendations from people who had been in my position. So you are absolutely right, most of these questions can be answered without your having to address them personally. (OTOH, you could have a whole second career as a consultant--PAID consultant!--for people who are interested in moving to Japan.)

[@LifeWhereImFromX]

Haha, no, I don't think I'd ever want a career as a consultant about Japan. When I do my videos, I'll gain very specific knowledge about something, but other than that, I'm generally completely clueless.

Hello Greg, I probably got all the answers I have to my questions by living here for almost half a year. I am just curious how and why I am always told that Kansai people are different from Tokyo people. I never been to Tokyo so I cannot tell.

[@BanBanChi]

After living in Osaka for almost two years, and married to a Japanese woman for 16 years and many visits around Japan, I can tell you I've seen a HUGE difference in how people behave in Kansai vs Tokyo or Kyushu. In my experience, the first thing that stands out to me is how much more open minded and welcoming Kansai people are. They really go out of their way to welcome foreigners and the effort they make to help us. Maybe it's because I'm the size of a sumo wrestler and it intimidates them, but man I feel like a rock star here. People simply approach me and want to interact. Elsewhere I've experienced people literally running away from me or ignoring me as if I was invisible. Second, Kansai people are more casual than what I've experienced in the rest of the country. Yeah, go out on a Friday night and you'll see people dressed up like it's a fashion show, but it's more common to see people here in t-shirts and jeans and shorts than anywhere else in country. My previous experiences in Tokyo and Fukuoka has always been like I missed out on the designer clothes clearance sale. Third, they are louder. They talk in the trains, they call out loudly to each other in public and laugh without covering their mouths. If you live in Tokyo, you know that the trains are even quieter than funerals. Fourth, physical contact. Nowhere else in Japan have I seen old couples walking around hand in hand, hugging in public or touching an arm in friendship. I've seen it and experienced it. The #1 past time at my local train station seems to be for old women to put their hands on my stomach and press it. It was weird as heck when it first happened, but it now happens so often I don't even react to it. Last week an old lady berated me because I've lost about 20 kilos since I moved here and I'm just not as big as she liked me to be. Physical contact seems to be much more common here than anywhere else. And those are the differences I can pull off the top of my head while eating lunch.

[@renren_]

@@BanBanChi Wow! Thanks! You validated some of my observations and gave me some details I haven't noticed yet. I actually feel very at home with how Kansai people behave since they are akin to how Filipinos would normally behave... well except maybe gathering in big groups during weekends. Generally they wouldn't be shy approaching foreigners and even try to speak some English words they know. They would most of the time ask me, "How life in Japan?" and I would answer them using my broken Japanese. They are quite curious how is it like for a foreigner to be living in their country since most of the Japanese people I know haven't been outside the country. And if ever they go out of Japan, it's usually for the purpose of vacation or volunteering. They seem to be very interested in volunteering. Last January 1, I rode the train at 1 AM and, I am not kidding, it was so noisy like I entered a pub. On that train, I even heard that time a group of young Japanese girls attempting to practice speaking in English amongst themselves. Maybe it was the alcohol or maybe it's just... New Year. I am studying Japanese and I have a teacher from Osaka and I find her very animated when she's teaching. I would just assume that's how Japanese would normally behave but as you have said, Kansai people seem to be more outgoing, laidback, and enjoy poking big bellies. Am I right? 😁 I heard some bad experiences from foreign people I personally know who are living here but I can only speak for my own experience. So far living here in Japan is very positive for me.

[@LifeWhereImFromX]

I'm glad you got an answer. I've actually only been to Osaka once, and it was literally a drive-by, so have no valid experience to speak of.

[@BanBanChi]

@@renren_ In my limited experience Japan has a different culture from one prefecture to another. Kobe is just an hour away from Osaka and the difference is palpable. They are still Kansai folks and act accordingly, but they are different than Osaka folks. Heck, even within Osaka itself I've noticed a difference. Hirano ward has a totally different personality that say Kita, Chuo or Suminoe wards. In the country parts of Osaka prefecture you'll see an whole other set of differences. I love watching people (not in a creepy way) and I'm also very friendly, so people tend to warm up to me. At 50 + I'm a little older than your average foreigner here, so I think that is less intimidating to locals. I also have an insane 8 year old son and we play in the train and at the train stations and those little obaachan eat that up! Another thing that's helped me is that I'm a working musician so every once in a while I'm recognized. I played a festival in the village of Minami Yamashiro (Google it. Talk abot middle of nowhere!) and I was the only foreigner in a two hour radius. I had never felt so welcome in my entire life. Also my band mates are all Japanese and I have a front row seat to tons of very authentic Japanese human interaction. I've purposely avoided making close friendships with other foreigners, first because I want to learn the language and, second because I want to get the most out of my life here and what better way to learn than to mingle with locals? So far my bad experiences have been very few and mostly come from my severe language limitations at least in Kansai. Outside is where I've had people not sit next to me on the train or ignore me when I'm standing right in front. I guess maybe Kansai people are not afraid of being a little embarrassed as opposed to the rest of the country? I don't know and I won't form a stereotype based on a couple of sad moments.. But I do know that I love my life here and coming over is the best decision I've made in my life, after marrying my beautiful Japanese lady.

It's just something that I do take the time to write a comment on for creators that I do happen to watch. Personally I have no problem seeing sponsored contents on your channel; but my comment is if you could make some forms of disclosure within the video, preferably at the beginning of the video, it'll be good. For me personally, even it's just an one-liner mention is adequate. I know that you are already putting the disclosure in the video description. I understand that different sponsors have different demands with respect to the sponsorship disclosure. As I said, I think all your videos are legit.

[@LifeWhereImFromX]

Nah, totally understand what you're saying. I think the only reason sometimes I don't say at the beginning (I'm inconsistent as to when I say it) is because of flow.

What is Japan's attitude about transgender people, and how safe is it for trans tourists? I've found a lot of info on LGB travel, but the T is seldom mentioned (and often gets confused with "transvestite/crossdresser" or "drag queen", or isn't quite understood - in the one case where there is/was a lesbian bar in that had a night for transmen). In particular, how do onsen handle the issue? (I guess a lot of the answers to these depend on where the person is in transition and how well they pass. Pass = are easily perceived as the gender they are.) If anyone else knows resources on this, please also feel free to answer!

Can a green card holder travel to japan with out a passport of the country of birth? I would like to visit japan for a week but I’m unable to get a passport from the country that I was born in. will the officers at the airport accept a re-enter permit with my green card?

[@LifeWhereImFromX]

Sorry, I don't know what being a green card holder entails? I don't even know what country you're from, but I've only heard the phrase in the U.S., so America? There are many passports where you don't need a visa to get into Japan, but you really have to check with your country to see. As long as you have a passport with some country and that country can get a visa to Japan, you'll get in as a tourist.

[@xraymind]

If you are asking about US green card, you can't leave nor return to US without a passport of the country of your birth and the green card. When entering Japan, they don't accept US green card as a form of passport nor a visa waiver. Basically Japan will treat you as citizen of your country of birth and not a US resident.
