    My local area does a cool print magazine called Life in Minamiuonuma. You can see a bit more about it on their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/lifein.minamiuonuma/ I think it's a cool way to both practice language skills and also learn about new things happening in the area. It covers things like businesses that have opened, seasonal events, job information, and more.

    I used to buy household magazines for the freebies! But I haven't in years. The only magazines I would buy now are Travel Mooks, but the ones I liked went out of print during the pandemic. I was a loyal purchaser of the quarterly Metropolitan area Walker and Pia magazines. I hope they come back someday - I thought they'd come back this year, but sadly not.

    I actually enjoy picking up those free little magazines at train stations about what is in the local ward. The are usually like 20 pages or so, but they do highlight regional things I wouldn't discover otherwise.

Did you feel the December 8th earthquake?

There was a large earthquake off the coast of Aomori Prefecture at 11.15 pm on December 8th 2025. We are approximately 700 kilometers from the epicenter, yet we felt it very strongly. Did you feel it and how far away (roughly) are you from the epicenter?

What Chiba places, cuisine, events, experiences enrich your Japan life?

The Chiba Prefecture government's international affairs division invites foreign resident volunteers to share the Chiba spots we love. I can't attend because of work obligations, but I can share your faves by email. What in Chiba lit you up - food, shops, nature, festivals, events, and experiences? Conversely, what didn't work out or confounded you? Photo tax - irises at Noda City's Sogo Park.
