• Dating as a Minority in Japan with Hana
    Mar 22 2022

    Hello everyone, and welcome to the newest episode of A Day in Japan.

    In this episode, Shea and guest Hana sit down to discuss the differences of dating as a non-Japanese minority versus a native Japanese person. We often think about the language and cultural barriers, but it's easy to forget that some people are or aren't as open-minded when it comes to dating someone that isn't from their own country.

    We hope that you enjoy this episode, and please let us know what you think!
