Natsukashii

Natsukashii is a podcast run by two ex expats who had been planning to travel and live abroad but then 2020 happened. Join us as we reminisce about all the things we love and miss about life in Japan. We hope that hearing our stories sparks your own happy memories or Natuskashi. 2020 changed everyone’s plans and many of us are thinking back on better times. The world may be forever changed but travel will be possible again someday and let’s all look forward to making new memories when that happens. Until then, welcome to Natsukashii.

This episode is a little different. It's a more casual episode even though it's a long one. Turn it up and listen to the last of the summer cicadas as we talk about some of the movies, books, and activities that have been getting us through 2021 so far, along with the usual tangents as we remember our time in Japan. Enjoy.
