Unpacking Japan
Unpacking Japan explores Japanese arts, culture, and business through the lives of foreigners who have made this amazing country their home. While we’ve all seen vlogs and movies showing Japan from a pop culture perspective, Unpacking Japan tells the stories that get left by the wayside—the immigrants, and the entrepreneurs, and the artists.
What are Japanese drag shows like? What drives someone to spend their life as a priest in the mountains? What is Japan like for the thousands of immigrant workers seeking a better life for their families?
Tune in every week for an authentic, inspiring conversation with someone who’s carved out their own, unique place in this beautiful country.
