Today was a special day in Japan. A day filled with anticipation for so many here in Japan. A day that may only come for some, once in a lifetime... The name of the new Japanese era was announced.

In this episode of the Tokyo Lens Podcast by Norm Nakamura, we talk about the new era name here in Japan and everything it entails. How it can impact daily life for those of us here in Japan, and what it means for the future of the country.

What are my options if I want to work in Japan? <-- Probably the single most commonly question that I get asked. And believe it or not, there are  A LOT of options available out there... and today... We are covering a bunch of them!

In today's episode of the Tokyo Lens Podcast by Norm Nakamura, we feature a good friend, Lukasz Palka who built a life and career in Japan.

Lukasz started his own company, and today, we talk about the progression that many people take when coming to Japan, and what options are available for you when it comes to working in Japan.

Nothing can ruin your time in Japan like bringing in, or for that matter buying (online) something that isn't legal in the country. And in this extended version of "Normal Items That Are Illegal in Japan" we talk about everything from tools, to travel and camping supplies, medicines, and so much more.

Silent train rides, construction sites with dB monitors, and a culture based around etiquette. On the surface, Japan seems like a peaceful and quiet country. But today, we talk about why it might actually be the noisiest country on the planet. And no, this is not a metaphor... Japan might actually be the noisiest place on earth... or the quietest.

In this episode of the Tokyo Lens Podcast by Norm Nakamura, we talk about Japan and Noise. And it couldn't come at a better time...

When you think of Japanese people, words like, "over-the-top" or "excessive" probably don't come straight to mind. Well today, we are going to challenge that a bit...

In this episode of the Tokyo Lens Podcast by Norm Nakamura, we cover a seemingly culturally-ingrained habit that the Japanese just cant seem to shake. One that, if left unchecked, could take a toll...

 In 2005 I was hit with a pretty surprising culture shock when I got into Tokyo for the first time. One that has stayed with me for just shy of 15 years at this point. On the surface, it seems like a moderately inconvenient puzzle that is simply part of the fabric of Japan, but as we look deeper into the topic... lives are being saved by one very simple thing; The Last Train.

In this episode of the Tokyo Lens Podcast by Norm Nakamura, we talk about something that puzzled me for longer than I wanted to admit. Until one day I went down the rabbit hole. Then I got distracted, and talked a lot about rabbit holes...

Every now and then, you get a chance in life to do something you have always dreamed of doing. But sometimes it comes with limitations. From that point on, its all about what you do with what's been presented to you.

On this episode of the Tokyo Lens Podcast by Norm Nakamura, we sit down and have a relaxed and casual talk centered around opportunities and gratitude.
