Keeping it real

Unvarnished, honest and unapologetic without being disrespectful and combined with personal insights provides a unique perspective on living in Japan.

Love the podcast

I’ve binge listened to all the episodes and feel as if I’ve actually learned something. Keep it up, it’s great material.

Love This Podcast!

How do I know I love it? Because I downloaded it before visiting Japan, and then got very caught up in just getting my bearings, and trying to learn Japan's massive train system (which is totally "learnable," by the way) that I never made time to actually listen to the podcast until I returned home.

Been back for a little more than a week, and I've enjoyed several episodes. Along with helping me to understand a few things that went over my head while I was there (like why our Airbnb host sent us some of the messages he sent us, and a few things related to etiquette), Japan According to Akil is thoroughly entertaining.

So, if you're thinking about going to Japan, do two things: Download this podcast, and then Go. To. Japan! You'll be glad you did both.
