Spring In Japan: Why This Season Feels Like A New Beginning
Spring in Japan isn’t just about cherry blossoms—it’s a cultural reset.
In this episode of The Expat Files, I reflect on how spring marks a new beginning across Japan, from the start of the school year to workplace transitions, and how the fleeting beauty of sakura connects deeply to Japanese culture and perspective.
After living in Japan for 30 years, this is one of the most meaningful seasons I experience every year—and one that completely changed how I view the idea of a “fresh start.”
In the next episode, I’ll be exploring a related theme of growth—this time through my perspective as a teacher in Japan and how early education shapes long-term development.
What does spring mean to you where you live?

日本の春は、単なる桜の季節ではなく「リセット」の季節です。

私にとって春は、毎年「新しいスタート」を実感する特別な季節です。
次回のエピソードでは、「成長」というテーマをさらに掘り下げ、日本で教師として経験してきた視点から、幼少期の教育がどのように人生に影響を与えるのかについてお話しする予定です。
あなたにとって「新しいスタート」を感じる季節はいつですか？
