YouTube channels for life in Japan?
Recently ToneToEdo put me on to JapaneseCooking101 on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@JapaneseCooking101) where you can find a variety of easy to follow recipe tutorials for a myriad of eats. I was wondering if anyone knew of other useful "life in Japan" style YouTube channels. It doesn't have to be cooking, anything that helps you out with day-to-day stuff here would be great to know about!

I just discovered Unpackingjapan hosted by Tobias Bieker. He interviews foreign residents and naturalized Japanese who have a wide variety of experiences from a range of generations. It's lovely to hear the voices and perspectives of veterans such as politician John Heese, cross-cultural consultant Rochelle Kopp, and kimono expert Billy Matsunaga.

I recently started to watch @ChaniJapan - she is from Australia and around my age. The reason I found her channel is that she shares about her experience buying a home here. I also occasionally enjoy @MrsEats - for quirky local Osaka experiences and comparisons with US culture. Following for other recommendations. There is so much content and it's very specific to individual interests.

I've got one more that may be of interest... Japan Intercultural Consulting has some playlists that explore Japanese business and cultural practices. The most recent videos are specific to "machizukuri" in relation to the Jingu Gaien issue. But have a look at the playlists. I'm watching "So what is it actually?" which explores topics like monozukuri, horenso, ikigai, etc. You get an overview of the concepts. Worth a look!
