In today’s episode, we’re diving into a crucial topic that anyone living in or visiting Japan should know at least a little about, and that is to stay safe during a natural disaster.

And as language learners, it’s good to not only master everyday conversational Japanese but also understand the language used in various emergency situations.
So, today we’ll look at some basic vocabulary related to natural disasters and phrases related to disaster preparedness. -

Podcast 51: Ōsōji – Year end cleaning
In Japan, the tradition of “大掃除” (Ōsōji), meaning “big cleaning,” takes place at the end of the year. This cultural practice involves a thorough cleaning of homes, workplaces, and public spaces to bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new one with a fresh start. Families engage in deep cleaning, decluttering, and organizing to symbolize leaving behind the past and preparing for a clean slate in the coming year. It is a shared activity that fosters a sense of renewal and harmony within the family, work colleagues and community.
