THE TIME HAS COME… THE FIRST ONLINE COURSE ABOUT JAPANESE CULTURE IS HERE!
I apologize for all these capital letters, they look a little loud; but the announcement is huge, it really is! I’ve been working very hard on this course for the past couple of months, so it’s with a little pride that I present you “First Time Japan”.

Japanese culture for travelers

When I started creating this course, I was a little overwhelmed by the possibilities: I had a lot of ideas, and I couldn’t focus properly. Finally, I moved away from the computer, and I put on some earplugs.

I relaxed.

And the course kinda organized itself.

How to travel to Japan for the first time

The idea is to help people to plan their first trip to Japan. Why do you need help for such a travel? Well, there are a lots of info that you might find useful because:

• you want to know how to properly travel to Japan alone
• you are planning your trip and you need some advice on itineraries and local traditions
• you want to discover japanese culture and tradition for work or study purpose

If you fall in any of these categories, this course might be just right for you!
