Hey everyone! Long time no see!
Today, we’ll be talking about our move to the USA — Yuka will share what we needed to do and our experience moving from Japan. We’ll go over everything from how long we had to wait to how much it cost to get her visa.

Thank you so much to everyone who has listened, supported, and waited for us during this long transition period. We’re so happy to announce that we’ll be back to uploading on our regular schedule again!

Thanks again!https://www.instagram.com/yukasan_offical?igsh=aWt1Y3k0Z3lyNnRx&utm_source=qr

See you next time!

Hey guys, welcome back to another episode of Season Story. I’m your host, Fernando, here with Yuka.
In today’s episode, we’re talking about McDonald’s in Japan vs. McDonald’s in America — their menu items, the fun differences, and the surprising similarities.
We’ll also introduce a really useful Japanese word you’ll hear all the time: maji — and show you how to use it the right way.
I hope you enjoy today’s episode and maybe learn something new and interesting. Thanks for tuning in!

Welcome back to another episode of Stephen Stories! Today’s topic is schools—specifically schools in America and Japan. We’ll be looking at the differences and similarities, from preschool all the way up to university.

Welcome back to another episode of Seeds and Stories with your hosts, Yuka and Fernando.
Today, we’re diving into the world of Goshuin—what they are, why you should try collecting them, and where you can find them. If you love shrines and temples or enjoy collecting meaningful keepsakes, this part’s for you.
We’ll also be teaching you about the word sumimasen—one of the most useful Japanese phrases you can learn. Even if you don’t plan on studying the language deeply, knowing this word can save you in a pinch while traveling in Japan.
Stick around, and as always, please like and subscribe. Thank you!みなさんこんにちは

今回＃８では「御朱印とは？」と「すみませんをどう使うか？」について配信しています。英語と日本語ではなしているので日本人の方も英語のリスニングとして聴いて頂ければ幸いです。また、日本人の方であれば、日常的なことを話していますので英語でも理解しやすいのではないかと思います。

Hello everyone, and welcome back to another episode of Seeds and Stories!
On today’s episode, we’ll be talking about Japanese onsen—exploring the different types you might come across, the rules and etiquette to keep in mind, and even what options there are for people with tattoos.
Our second topic is toilets—from traditional squat toilets to the modern high-tech versions—and how ideas of cleanliness differ between Japan and the U.S.
From the U.S. to Japan, everything we share comes from our own experiences and the things we’ve lived through and noticed along the way. We hope you’ll learn something new—or maybe connect with us through your own experiences. And of course, we’d love to hear from you, so let us know your thoughts down in the comments!

Today, we’re diving into something fun—hotels in Japan and how they’re different from hotels in the U.S. Some of these differences are small, some are surprising. Yuka and I will share what stood out to us, and maybe you’ll notice them next time you travel too.
We’re also going to talk about something we wanted to mention to you—if you’ve ever wondered why we chose Seeds and Stories. On today’s episode, we’re going to reveal the reasons behind the name, and what inspired us to keep it.
It’s going to be a shorter episode today, but hopefully a fun one. So stick around, maybe learn a few new Japanese words, maybe pick up some new English, and just hang out with us.
Let’s get started!
今回エピソード６ではアメリカと日本の宿泊施設について、また私たちのラジオタイトルseeds and stories の名前の由来についてお話します。
