Interview – Story in Japan

WHERE ARE YOU FROM?

South Korea

WHERE DO YOU LEARN JAPANESE LANGUAGE?

Study at「Higashikawa Japanese Language School」

WHY ARE YOU INTERESTED IN JAPAN?

I have been interested in Japanese history and culture since I was young. Also, since it is the closest country to my hometown, Korea, I was interested in it because it has the advantage of being able to travel easily. And I became more interested because my wife who I met in Canada is Japanese.

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO STAY IN THIS CITY?

I didn’t want to go to a big city like Tokyo or Osaka that anyone would know about. Real Japanese culture.

Because I was curious about the life of a small town, I came to a city called Higashikawa, Hokkaido, which has a population of 8,000. And this is a beautiful place with only wonderful Mother Nature and kind people.

WHAT DID YOU ENJOY THE MOST WHILE STAYING ABROAD?

I think it’s a relief that I can feel and enjoy delicious and healthy food, fresh air, and Mother Nature so close.

DID YOU EXPERIENCE ANY CHANGE IN YOUR LIFE AND FUTURE PROSPECTS AFTER YOU START YOUR JOURNEY?

While traveling, I have a wider view of the world, and I think I am lucky to meet beautiful places and wonderful people that I don’t know.

WHAT IS YOUR DREAM?

My goal is to build my own photo studio while living in Hokkaido.

MESSAGE TO OUR FRIENDS WHO WILL GO TO JAPAN.

Japan is a place that never makes you feel regretful and disappointed Advanced city, Mother Nature, healthy and delicious food, friendly people, wonderful service, It’s all over here, Japan.
