Big-Traditional-Company vs Start-up? You can take both! In Japan, there are so many offers of side-project opportunities from start-ups & increasing number of 20s-30s often take part in start-ups for their career development. Once many people begin to flow into start-ups, I believe the business innovation would be driven from Japan again same as old days, reproducing future SONY/TOYOTA.

They have attracted a million of younger generations so far. But they have pivoted core business multiple times and transformed again and again. They used to be one of the biggest suppliers to Yakuza, and now the king of entertainment. Worth knowing.

Japanese Language is 9th most spoken language in the world. It's quite flexible and diverse which has a lot of choice of expression. From phonetic perspective, it seems difficult to learn. But learning Japanese has some meaningful aspects.

Japanese people can be a "solo-customer" without any hesitation. I myself used to visit Disney-Land alone. This solo-time is highly recommended to calibrate your life regularly. It can refresh and organize your thoughts.

Let me insist that Ramen represents the best noodle in Japan. You'll see a lot of scenes where tipsy masses are seeking the way to find the closest ramen shop from bars. Why ramen is the best drunk-food? There is one science theory behind that. There are various cultures and their own drunk food worldwide, but I really wish many people try Ramen as your drunk-food, at least...once!

You may have heard "Onsen" is pretty common overhere in Japan, but what about sauna? I would say sauna is a legal weed that should have been prohibited due to its addiction level. Nowadays, young people go to sauna for relaxation which costs only around $10. I personally go to sauna 3-4times per week. I also talk about the origin of sauna with its history. Very intriguing to know how sauna/onsen infrastructure have begun.
