  • The Chikan Problem - Why Don't People Help?!

    Trigger Warning: In this episode we talk about Sexual Harassment. 

    In Japan, it is known that people try not to get involved... Even when someone is groped.

    Today on the Tokyo Lens Podcast by Norm Nakamura, I try to share some insight into this.

    Much of today's Episode was inspired by this tweet:

  • Best Spots in Japan (Outside of Tokyo/Kyoto/etc...)

    Japan is just barely more than 3,000 Km (1,900 miles) from end to end and roughly 70% of the country is covered in mountains. You wouldn't expect there to be as many amazing places to explore as there is... but that is what we are talking about today.

    In this episode of the Tokyo Lens Podcast by Norm Nakamura, I share with you some of the best and some of my personal favorite spots outside of the major cities in Japan.
