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 head to the forested mountains surrounding the village of Totsukawa in Nara Prefecture to meet French-born Jolan Ferreri. A lover of the woodlands, Jolan works to invigorate the region with his creation, an exciting aerial recreational park held in suspension among the trees dubbed the Village in the Sky. We also visit Yugawara where Thai-native Manutchaya Chaopreecha works at the local tourist information center to promote this famous hot-spring resort town in Kanagawa Prefecture.
