Hello, I'm Yoji. All of my students call me "Yoji-sensei." The word sensei means "teacher" in Japanese, and it is how we address teachers here in Japan.

Teaching Japanese and Introducing Our Culture to Foreign Residents

As I live in central Tokyo, I encounter foreigners in my everyday life. Many tourists are sightseeing at famous places such as those listed below:

• Senso-ji Temple（浅草寺）

• Tokyo Skytree（東京スカイツリー）

• Tokyo Tower（東京タワー）

• Shibuya Scramble Crossing（渋谷スクランブル交差点）

• Meiji Jingu Shrine（明治神宮）

• Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden（新宿御苑）

• Akihabara Electric Town（秋葉原電気街）

• Tsukiji Outer Market（築地場外市場）

• Imperial Palace（皇居）

• Ueno Park（上野恩賜公園）

• Tokyo Disneyland / Tokyo DisneySea（東京ディズニーランド / 東京ディズニーシー）

• Roppongi Hills（六本木ヒルズ）

• Ginza Shopping District（銀座ショッピング街）

• Odaiba（お台場）

• Harajuku Takeshita Street（原宿竹下通り）

• Ghibli Museum, Mitaka（三鷹の森ジブリ美術館）

• Kabukicho（歌舞伎町）

• Rikugien Garden（六義園）

• Inokashira Park（井の頭恩賜公園）

• Yoyogi Park（代々木公園）

• Sanrio Puroland（サンリオピューロランド）

• Sumida Aquarium（すみだ水族館）

Once a day, I speak to them and ask if they need help on the street or in a shop. In many cases, they are having trouble reading Japanese menus and signs.

One day I thought about it: Why are all these people I help in the exact same touristy places?
I would say these places are amazing. I am always happy to take you there. However, as a Japanese person who speaks fluent Japanese and was also educated in Japan, I know there are much nicer places that locals go to in their daily lives. Most people who live in Tokyo do not visit those major tourist spots on a monthly basis. Instead, we know which restaurants or bars serve delicious, reasonably priced food in residential areas. We know where to buy fresh sushi, sashimi, or yakitori for dinner. We know the best dating spots and where kids actually want to go, including Pokémon Centers.

"Foreign tourists see only the surface of Japan. That is a bit sad..."
Movies, anime, and YouTubers are likely major influences. Japan and our culture are known worldwide for "diligent people," "clean cities," "great fresh food," and an "advanced lifestyle," and I am very proud of it. While this is true, since this is already our living standard, we locals know even better ways to experience the real Japan.

From my own childhood experience, I deeply understand how difficult it is to step into "the real local life" in a foreign country. Time spent living here may fly by when you look back, but I want you to truly experience the authentic Japanese way of living. Once your company decides to send you to Japan as an expat, you will have to figure out where to live, which schools your children should attend, how to find doctors or hospitals, how to navigate public transport, which apps make daily life easier, and which language schools to choose.

I am happy to help you with any challenges you face in Japan—from the moment your relocation is decided, throughout your stay, and even years later when it is time to leave. If you want your children to stay connected with the Japanese language and culture after you leave, I am always here to help you find the best way.

My Background

I was born in Japan and raised abroad, spending a total of eight years in both the US and the UK. That is where I learned to speak English and communicate with people from diverse backgrounds. Looking back on my time overseas, I am reminded of the everyday struggles I faced—the language barrier, feelings of isolation at school, and the frustration caused by cultural differences.

I returned to Japan for university to study Comparative Culture at the University of Tsukuba, where I earned my teaching credentials for Japanese junior high and high schools. After graduating, I worked in the finance sector for many years at companies like Nomura Securities and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, and 6 years ago I changed my profession to education. Currently, I teach English to Japanese children and adults, both in Tokyo and online.
