Where We Call Home
People from around the globe who put down roots in Japan offer a glimpse into their lives and the hardships they face in Japanese society.


On this episode, we visit Myanmar refugee Aung Myat Win who runs a restaurant in Osaka Prefecture that serves the authentic taste of his home country. Win also manages a business that provides care to people with disabilities. And with the current situation in their homeland, Win is offering support to Myanmar nationals in Japan who are struggling like he was when he arrived in the country over 20 years ago. Later on, we meet US-born James Johnson, who works for a tea wholesaler in Shizuoka Prefecture.
