I lived in Okinawa from 8years old until about 21, I miss it incredibly and I remember one time my dad found someone’s wallet and he turned it into the police station, the next day, the owner of the wallet and his family came to our home and delivered us a care package to show thanks, I was culture shocked when I came to America. This man is absolutely right about safety there

I just moved to Japan in August 2023. Never been happier in my life.

Black British photographer here 👋🏾 currently based in South Korea for the past 3 years, thank you for sharing his story it’s super inspirational and I relate to a lot of what he’s saying. What a legend ✊🏾

Im in awe of how calm his body language is, the lack of anxiety in his eyes and how peaceful he is. Plus i love his style of dress, cmon!

Japan is a meritocratic society and a rule-based society. There are times when efforts are not rewarded, but talented people are not denied recognition because of their race. For example, many Mongolians are currently active in the traditional national sport of sumo :trophy-yellow-smiling:

In Japan, he's not a black photographer. He's a photographer, who happens to be a foreigner, who happens to be black.

I visited Japan in October for the first time I enjoyed every moment. I'm already going back in May.

I took a solo trip to Japan. I was initially operating with the "New York" side of my mind. Being on guard, but after a while that guard went down and I was able to relax and feel a new kind of peace. I'm a big guy with tattoos, I thought I would feel out of place but not at all! Majority of the locals were super helpful whenever I needed assistance and I felt so relaxed. No one made me feel unwanted.

Glad that photographer’s having good lifestyle in Japan.

I love how relaxed Brothas look in Asia! 🇯🇵 👨🏾

I'm Japanese, and I hope Japan will continue to be a safe place for all foreigners, no matter what the color of their skin is.

In the 90's I spent one month in Tokyo.. zero stress/zero drama. I loved it.

I finally got my first passport and I have been wanting to go to Japan since I was little. I will finally be able to go. As a black man, I am so inspired by these videos and hearing about what life is like in Japan while black vs America.

This man has such a calming voice

There’s a sense of relaxness and coolness with this man. He seems so refreshed and genuinely happy, as if he truly know his life purpose and is content with his path. I aspire to be like him

I concur! I’m an African-American living in Japan. It’s very different lifestyle than America. While Japan do have some discrimination, it’s NOT racism. They don’t have laws that prevents marginalized groups from succeeding. They don’t target or racial profile you because of the color of your skin. The Japanese people treat everyone the same. If you’re non-Japanese, you are a foreigner to them. Point blank period. They have strong traditional values that America severely lacks. They are very punctual (trains, buses, and deliveries arrives on time — very rare that they are late). I encourage any African-American to consider moving here, learn the language, and embrace the culture. It’s incredible!

Hey, it’s my town. Thank for taking picture of my town. Since, I sold my house and living in Texas, I miss there. Thank you so much.

あら、すてきな方。 I am Japanese, born and raised in Tokyo. I moved to the countryside more than ten years ago. For the first year, I had a hard time getting used to the language (dialect) and flavors. Even now, I sometimes miss food from the Kanto region. Now I finally feel like a local. If you ask me if I miss Tokyo, I don't. It must be difficult for people from overseas to move here because even Japanese people are like this. In a few months, sakura will bloom. I will miss Tokyo's sakura mochi again, just as I did last year.

I recognized Jiyugaoka immediately at the beginning from those benches you were sitting on. I loved walking around there and visiting my friend's shop. Hopefully I'll be back there soon.
