We aim to be a comprehensive media for people like you who are interested in Japan.
Originally, we started from a podcast channel which is “Nihongo That’s Dan”. It’s just a Japanese small talk channel though, we realized there are people who like to know about Japan in more real and detail. That’s why we launched this web site.
We are neither a company nor an organization, just a Japanese couple. See our Profile
We are happy if you like our content!
