Welcome to Glimpse of Japan.
Glimpse of Japan is an English-language blog about everyday life, travel habits, food culture, public manners, and small cultural details in Japan. The site is written from a Japanese perspective for international readers who want clear, practical, and realistic explanations of Japan.
Many articles on this site begin with simple questions that visitors often ask:
- Why are trains in Japan so punctual?
- Why are taxis expensive?
- Why are there so few trash bins?
- Is it rude to slurp noodles?
- What should vegetarian visitors know before eating out in Japan?
The goal of this site is not to present Japan as perfect or mysterious. Instead, the goal is to explain the background behind everyday customs and help visitors understand what they may see, hear, eat, or experience while traveling or living in Japan.
The articles are written and edited by Toa, a Japanese writer based in Japan. I try to combine personal observation, local context, and practical information so that readers can make better decisions during their stay in Japan.
Topics covered on this site include:
- Getting around Japan
- Japanese food and dining culture
- Everyday etiquette and social rules
- Tokyo streets and public spaces
- Practical tips for international visitors
