About Us
And how we would love to help you navigate your life in Japan!
Who are we?
We are an eclectic team of foreigners and Japanese living in Japan. Inspired by our own challenges in accessing essential information for everyday living, we’ve taken a proactive step to change that!
What are we trying to achieve?
Living in Japan can bring surprises and challenges, both for us and our friends. This inspired us to create the guide we always wished for — Navigating Nihon, a helpful resource where you can find answers to all your questions about living in Japan.
The Team
Chloé
Editor-in-Chief
I have been living in Japan for many years now and while I love to help people around me, I always wanted to find a way to do it a scale. That’s how Navigating Nihon’s idea was born!

Japanese American currently based in Tokyo. Having lived on both sides of the Pacific, I’ve noticed many cultural differences and want to share some of the life hacks I’ve learned along the way!
Sam

I’ve been living in Japan for 10 years and very much in love with the culture and the daily life of it. I run a podcast about Japan and I would love to share with you all the little tips and tricks I’ve discovered over the years.

A Canadian wandering Japan for more than seven years now, I’m interested in the intersections of art, culture, and technology. Doing my best salaryman impression by day and moonlighting as a writer by night.
