Welcome to Your Japanese Lifestyle Handbook!

Hi, and welcome!

I’m really glad you took the time to visit my page. It means a lot to me!

My name is Rina. I’m a native Japanese, living in Japan, and I’m excited to share my personal guide to my country with you. As the name suggests, Your Japanese Lifestyle Handbook is about the Japanese lifestyle. I share bits of everyday life, Japanese culture, travel guides, and more. I just started blogging in 2024!

What You’ll Find Here:

This blog covers a range of topics—from Japan travel guides to new coffee shops, a vibrant food culture, interesting Japanese traditions, and recipes. I love sharing local Japanese insights and everyday moments that make life fun.

I hope my blog can help and inspire you in your own journeys!

About Myself:

I have been interested in foreign countries since I was in upper elementary school. I remember joining the Foreign Culture Research Club, where I had the opportunity to learn about different cultures from around the world. In university, I majored in International Language and Culture, where I deepened my knowledge of languages and international cultures. During my sophomore year, I spent a year studying abroad in Ontario, Canada. That experience undoubtedly forms the foundation of who I am today.

After graduating from university, I worked in the trade and commerce industry. Following my marriage and the birth of my child, I became a mother. Currently, I do not work a typical 9-to-5 job; instead, I teach English online from home and share insights into the daily life of Japanese people through my blog.
