What magazines with Japan content do you recommend reading?

The question is in the title. Do you recommend any online or printed magazines for lifestyle, culture, food, or language learning? Why do you recommend them?

    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.

Condiments in your fridge?

Just for fun! I was thinking the other day how different the contents of my fridge are to the fridge I grew up with! Just one example, I always have soy sauce in my fridge and usually at least one other unopened bottle in the cupboard. There was never soy sauce in my fridge growing up. And the friends I grew up with don't have soy sauce in their fridges even now. But my Uni friends all have soy sauce in their fridges, because they all lived in Japan for at least a year. I was just wondering what things do you have in your fridge here that you probably wouldn't have in your fridge in your home country had you never lived here.

Moving house process

I've been in my apartment for nearly 7 years. I've got my eye on an apartment one station closer to work. But I forgot what it was like to move in here! It was all a bit traumatic... Have you got some packing tips, suggestions for how to move your household goods, and what to save for last?

Golden Week 2025 plans?

This year's Golden Week gives us Tuesday, April 29th, and then potentially a four-day weekend from May 3rd to 6th. How are you intending to spend the break? Will you travel, "staycation", or dare I ask, work through it?
