5 years in Japan
Hi,
I have lived in Japan for about 5 years and counting. All of that time I have lived and worked in Tokyo. My first stay in Japan was for 4 years in the early 2000's and returned in early 2013.
I write a blog about places in Japan, mostly Tokyo, but do get out to some other places too. Feel free to have a look.

Jason.
