Hey guys,
Hope you're having a fine weekend so far!
Today I wanted to share a sneak peek of the upcoming Nakasendo episode with you all, without giving too much away, as well as a few changes.
As I mentioned in the previous post, Natsuki and I recently embarked on an epic four day adventure into the mountains of...
A Rough Week in an Otherwise Incredible Month.
Hey guys,
I hope you’ve had a great week!
First off, I’d like to say a big thank you for all the kind words, comments, and messages I’ve received this week from the Abroad in Japan Patreon community.
It’s been a rollercoaster of emotions, highs and lows, over the past week. I was imme...
What is Happening to Japan?
Hey guys,
I hope you've had a pleasant week.
As you may have seen in recent days, I've been caught up in some things online.
People have joked about, trivialised it, but it's a serious matter.
I've barely slept, and been unable to eat. I needed to discuss this publicly.
I apologise for the tone in this video, but I...

- Now it's time to make that weekend a heck of a lot more Wacky.

Even if you don't care about cars - and h...
Abroad in Japan PATREON Live Hangout 🍿 Sunday 12th October
Hey guys and WELCOME to the weekend!
I've just got back from a brutal three day mountain hike with Natsuki of all people.
Feeling rather sore and obliterated, but my god was it an epic journey.
Can't wait to share behind the scene details/photos in a separate post later here on Patreon.
But for...
Japan: Dark Times Ahead? (13 Years in, Things Are Changing)
It wouldn’t be an understatement to say my thirteen years in Japan couldn’t really have gone much better.
If somebody had told me in my tiny apartment in the early days that I'd end up visiting all 47 prefectures, cycling across the country, opening a bar in Shibuya and meeting Ken Watanabe and the Emperor, I'd genui...
How FAST Can Japan's Tiniest Car Go? 🍿 Feat. Connor & Natsuki | Patreon Sneak Peek

101 Things to do in Tokyo 🍿 Mega-Guide OUT Now!
Hey guys,
At last our ridiculous 101 Things to do in Tokyo episode is finally out on Abroad in Japan, after a rather tough summer-long production process of filming and editing!
While we've got a Patreon exclusive episode dropping in the days ahead, in the meantime there's a handy checklist (attached to this post) listing every...
The Biggest Abroad in Japan Video of All Time is Just Days Away 🍿 Patreon Sneak Peek
It’s big.
It’s ridiculous.
It’s finally here.
One of the great things about being human is we can set ourselves arbitrary goals and then slowly ruin our mental health trying to achieve them.
(A bit like the time I bet on Trash Taste I’d get a six-pack in three months. Spoiler: I didn’t. Unless yo...
Abroad in Japan PATREON LIVE 🍿 August Edition | Sunday 31st
It's a Christmas miracle!
For the first time this year, I'm in a half decent timezone!
That's right guys, I'm currently in the UK and so for this month's Patreon live catch up, it'll be held at a reasonable hour (albeit apologies to the handful of viewers in Japan).
We're officially just a coupl...
Japan’s Most Overlooked Island & Why You Should Go 🇯🇵 72 Hours in Shikoku
I won’t lie.
Spending almost the entire summer in Tokyo writing a book left me burned out in every possible way. Physically, because it was the hottest summer in Japanese history and mentally, because writing a book mostly involves staring at a screen until you begin questioning whether words even exist.
Writing a book isn...

Abroad in Japan Patreon Live: Featuring Sharla | (Moved to Tuesday 5th August)
Hey guys,
Good news (x2) and bad news unfortunately.
The bad news is I'm having to postpone tonight's live show a couple of days.
I've not been feeling overly well this weekend - it's most likely heatstroke from filming in the mega-heat/sun yesterday or something else more sinister, but no matter how much Tully's C...
Abroad in Japan PATREON Live | Sunday 3rd August
Hey guys,
Hope you've had a great week :)
Just to announce this month's live show (July Edition) will be held this Sunday 3rd August!
(We typically hold the livestream in the final days of each month, but I moved it to the weekend, as I tend to find that's when most folks can join).
We've got tons of epic videos ...
Why I Really Quit My Teaching Job in Japan 10 Years Ago Today
This morning, the above photo randomly popped up on my laptop. One of those unsolicited "memory" photos designed to briefly jolt you into nostalgia before you go back to eating cheese over the sink.
But this one was worth pausing for. It was from July 2015, the day I finished my job as an English teacher in rural Japan, after thre...
