Hello everyone! I’m MIMI.
KONNICHIWAー！（こんにちは😃）
I was born and raised in Tokyo, where I currently work as a businessman. I have a husband and one child. The place I usually spend my time is near Tokyo Station, a central hub in Japan that every traveler is sure to pass through. Additionally, I live near “Roppongi,” a famous area known for its tourist attractions.
Now, if you’ve come to check out this blog, I assume you have an interest in Japanese culture. With that in mind, I’ve started a blog called “MIMI’s JAPAN” because I want everyone to discover more fascinating aspects of Japan.
Japan is a country with many wonderful aspects. When people talk about Japan, they often mention affordable and delicious meals, the birthplace of entertainment like anime and manga, the high functionality of toilets, the safety, punctual trains, and the convenience of 24-hour convenience stores, among other things. As for the Japanese people, they are often described as polite, orderly, adept at forming queues, kind (for instance, returning lost items as they are), and possessing a strong spirit of service.
On the flip side, there are aspects that might seem peculiar when viewed from abroad. Why use a seal (hanko) instead of a signature? There’s someone sleeping on the side of the road after having too much to drink! Students sleeping in class? Why is there no litter on the streets? Everyone wears masks for a surprisingly long time, and so on.
In this blog, I won’t be presenting Japan from the perspective of a foreigner but rather as a pure Japanese, MIMI, who has been living in Japan for a long time. I’ll introduce the true Japanese culture, delicious eateries, nice spots, and occasionally, some quirky aspects of Japanese culture.
Whether you’re planning to travel to Japan, have a business trip scheduled, have an interest in Japanese culture, love Japanese food, or are a fan of Japanese anime, I hope to provide valuable information for all of you. Please feel free to check it out!
If there’s any content you’d like to know more about, please feel free to leave a comment! I’ll do my best to incorporate your suggestions.
See you again soon!
