Best Japan podcast!

This is easily my favorite podcast about Japan. Matt and David are so relatable and great podcast hosts. I love that they talk about their honest experiences in Japan, sometimes talking about things like music, fashion, doing a live walking around the city, sometimes it’s architecture, and always about Japan. My husband got me into this podcast because he, like the hosts, share the same happiness and excitement when talking about Japan. Their story about how they got to Japan, by following their dreams, resonated deeply with us, and we sort of found kindred spirits. We’ve since discovered great music, festivals to attend, places to visit and shopping to do.

We’re traveling to Japan at the end of this year 2022 and we’re so excited that the country opened its borders. We’re definitely going to visit Kobe and Osaka this time and hope to see them around!

Just found this and enjoying it!

Been looking for a new Kobe based podcast about Japan since the Just Japan Podcast went on hiatus a couple years ago. This one fits the bill nicely and I've already been excited to hear an episode that had them talking about Sannomiya and mentioning the otaku shopping area near Hankyu Sannomiya station. Looking forward to much more including maybe a visit to the nearby onsen town of Arima.
