Forum: Have you been to Japan?
This may of been asked at one point, but I am genuinely curious about how many serious Japanese learners there are who have not yet been to Japan, like me!
So please comment with:
'yes' (I have been)
'no' (I still haven't)
'still am' (here).
I have not yet been (I am going in 2 months).
So please comment with:
'yes' (I have been)
'no' (I still haven't)
'still am' (here).
I have not yet been (I am going in 2 months).

- washoku July 30, 2014 at 2:06am@Kimbo You will truly understand the language and culture by living IN Japan. Videos, DVDS, CDs, websites, photos, books, e-books, etc. do not replace human-to-human interaction. I lived there for three straight months, and it is tough. Best of luck when you go to Japan. :)
- Kimbo July 30, 2014 at 4:17amI skype in Japanese for 1-2 hours a day usually, so I have some of the basics down. Although I do know I will learn much more Japanese actually being there :D for example, I don't exactly go to restaurants and order a meal on skype xD
I was surprised by the results! I thought at least 25% might of gone on vacation or homestay or something :o - Avarine July 30, 2014 at 9:44amno
- Avarine July 30, 2014 at 9:46amquestion, do you talk to a friend or something, or do you talk to someone you met online? 'cuz I want to talk to someone like that, and I was wondering how you met them (if it was online)
- piecesof July 30, 2014 at 2:39pmI live here!
- Kimbo July 30, 2014 at 6:17pmI met many friends from http www.conversationexchange.com! I recommended anyone who wants to make friends to use it. If you are planning to go to Japan, it's good to know a few people! Every time you log on, your profile goes to the top of the list, so the more you log, the more people will message you. Make sure to make a nice profile and also message other people!

- kakka_rot August 2, 2014 at 1:28amIf anyone is interested, it's not difficult to move here. I got my AA from a community college with only like a 2.7, and was able to get into a 外人大学 (Foreigner School) for relatively cheap. APU is about 50/50 Japanese and International students, with classes in both English and Japanese.
My only complaint is because you don't /need/ to speak Japanese, I've been learning slower than I would if it was mandatory. I think registration for Fall semester might be over by now, but if anyone is interested, you can shoot me a message. - Kimbo August 2, 2014 at 6:18amA university?
- calebbova August 2, 2014 at 7:27pmYes. Have lived in Hiroshima for 2 years and planning to stay for some time more :)
- Kimbo August 2, 2014 at 8:16pmNice. What do you study? A degree would be useful, but I don't have an extra 4 years to spare! :/
- CyberZix August 3, 2014 at 7:23amNope, but I'm thinking of at least visiting it in the futuree~~!
I'm just about to finish HS and then I'm about to go to college and man I'm so "itchy" to go to a japanese-learning college/university simply to just visit it(I heard there are exchanges at some point and you have the chance to visit it)
But then, the problem is that I might remain without a job if I do it, so yeah...I'll have to think about something else. o,o - CyberZix August 3, 2014 at 7:29amIf I ever were to visit it, the very first thing I'll ever do is to check out the arcades...I saw that they are incredible out there.
Then check out the sights and probably festivals(like to see the huge carriage at the fire festival...and taiko, I simply love Taiko).
(About the arcades...I simply love games...what can I do? ;P) - jagscads August 3, 2014 at 8:16amno ~

- Nahchan October 6, 2014 at 5:10pmStill am, life in japan is very tough. Make sure to save some money before coming here.
- Takezuki October 28, 2014 at 7:28amはい!
- Noitrus October 28, 2014 at 6:07pmyes, I have been. ^^
- Kant_Lernjap October 29, 2014 at 3:25amNo, and I don't think I would want to unless I had some Japanese friends there already or something. Being a gaijin is tough, especially if you aren't really good looking.
- Takezuki October 29, 2014 at 5:31amI don't think so Kant, japanese are one of the kindest and helpful people that I have ever met :D.
It's a beautiful and fascinating country you should visit it once :) - Kant_Lernjap October 29, 2014 at 5:41amI don't know, I was under the impression that no matter how friendly they are with you, they still see you as an outsider. A native once said that he thinks foreigners are ok, but when they stay in Japan too long they're like bad food in your stomach. He wasn't one of the blatant xenophobes either. I guess visiting for a week or two would be nice when I'm competent enough in the language, but no longer than that and no sooner than that for me. Unless I have connections that live there by that time.
- Takezuki October 29, 2014 at 6:07amOh I see, so that was a point of view that you get from a native~ well I understand you're opinion about the longterm but I think that he said that because he might be afraid that foreigners that come to live in Japan, don't follow the system, and are not enough disciplined (towards rules). It's just a question about respect, being respectful about the country where you are, simple as that.
It's also about you, to come and be open-minded without thinking that all of their "kind/helpful" manners (that are just inside their culture, that's just how they are used to be) are just useless/without true intentions (a form of "hypocrisy").
It's still just my point of view ^_^. - Takezuki October 29, 2014 at 6:08amrespectful about the culture of the country*
- Kant_Lernjap October 29, 2014 at 6:27amI think it was more about their desire not to lose their culture. America turned itself into a melting pot/stew and, while we still have "culture", it's not very interesting compared to other places. I agree that not taking off your shoes is part of the problem though.
- Takezuki October 29, 2014 at 6:40amWell for America (the United States), it's another thing it's sure it's a melting pot due to the origins and the history of the country. But this particularity is one of the pillars of their culture.
And yeah, I think the same about "keeping the identity/the culture of the country" it must be something that they are afraid of, but we will back on the idea of respect. - mushroom October 29, 2014 at 6:49pmいいえ
- click November 13, 2014 at 3:38pmYou'll always be seen as a non-Japanese because you aren't one. That's just the way it is. People who don't like you because you're a foreigner exist, but they are very rare. More likely it's people who are unsure of your behaviours because they've encountered foreigners that come here and do weird things.
- juri1509 November 14, 2014 at 9:31pmYes..
- CafeKairu December 16, 2014 at 3:13pmI live in Japan. Not a bad place to live. Good food, good people, nice sights. Language is tough, and sure there are a few who don't like foreigners. But, is it any different than Americans saying that immigrants must speak English and act American? Anyway, show that you can act like a Japanese and you will be fine. It will get you places.
- Sakura_Fujiko December 18, 2014 at 12:05amYes
- KenjiSama December 18, 2014 at 12:16amnext year in the summer :D
I CAN"T WAIT!!!!!! - Danoram December 20, 2014 at 8:35amYes

- totoroxoxo December 31, 2014 at 1:50amyes I went during the summer!
- DarkHellSpawn January 27, 2015 at 12:21pmYup, once. For 3 weeks. Joined the Youth Friendship Programme. Best.Trip.Ever
- DeadWitness February 16, 2015 at 2:10amA whole year. It was too early for me, I should have waited a year or two more. At least I learned how to behave better than I would in any book.
- RoVee February 18, 2015 at 8:11pmyes
- KumikoKumaa March 25, 2015 at 2:08pmno, maybe in the summer!

- Baky April 1, 2015 at 11:30pmWow surprised to see so many learning the language but haven't been or aren't currently living there o_o
- Nebulahime14 April 13, 2015 at 3:35pmI'm going next year over the summer, but I'm looking at the N3 test sometime this year. It all depends on what decides to pop up after this semester.
- Wonderland November 23, 2015 at 2:17amYes!
- jc89 November 23, 2015 at 2:23amYes
- Lies November 23, 2015 at 9:05amNo

- IsseiTakashi November 23, 2015 at 12:15pmI haven't been but I have a trip planed with a couple of friends
- Taralee November 23, 2015 at 2:19pmI have been, It was great, I stayed in Tokyo with a friend and her family. Just always be polite and you will have a great time!! Remember manners ie Itadakimasu, arigatou etc I can't wait to go back :D
- papacheeen November 23, 2015 at 2:27pmI have been and now im migrating. Language barrier is hard to deal with thats why im here.
- Jkedj913 November 23, 2015 at 2:54pmYes been there
- davidjerb November 23, 2015 at 4:16pmno
- dontemoe November 23, 2015 at 5:02pmi plan on moving there for a year or two once i become fluent
- Kimbo November 23, 2015 at 5:05pmI made this so long ago, and here it is still going! Been here over a year now.
- dontemoe November 23, 2015 at 5:07pmlol, i just noticed
- hasumi November 23, 2015 at 5:59pmno:((
- A3agnos November 23, 2015 at 6:17pmWow, someone really digged deep down in the feeds xD
And the answer for me is "no". - MintyHippo November 23, 2015 at 6:36pm@Kimbo no kidding lol, almost a year an a half old and still going ><
I think quite a few people that posted originally can change their answer to yes now as well. Yes for me. - Kimbo November 23, 2015 at 8:55pmWell when I first made it, I was surprised by how many had never even been to Japan (including me), but it seems everyone is slowly changing their answer now :P wooo go Japan!
- freakymrq November 23, 2015 at 10:47pmStill a no but that will change in a few weeks :D
- beee_17 November 24, 2015 at 4:29am一年半が経ったけど、俺はまだ行ったことない :(
- RovkirHexus November 24, 2015 at 6:33amNo, but I found a really cheap language school in Japan. I'm hoping to go to it within the next few years.
- Arachkid November 24, 2015 at 7:44amYes, just got my permanent resident visa on Friday (永住者), which means no more visits to the immigration office until 2022 to renew the card, and no more stupid applications! Yes! Well, unless I ever intend to actually take Japanese citizenship, but I doubt that'll happen unless they make it so you can have two citizenships at once.
- beeant November 24, 2015 at 8:07amOh that's really nice Archkid! Congratulations! How long have you stayed in Japan?
- Arachkid November 24, 2015 at 8:17amJust over 5 years. Yeah, it's a nice change, especially since immigration center visits always take so long. Even when I got the perm, I went in, took out the number from the machine, 2 away from being called, not bad, huh... oh, an hour wait. :P Then half an hour after them taking my paperwork to prepare the card. So happy for 7 years free of that! Of course... yesterday my my number (ugh) arrived.
- beeant November 24, 2015 at 9:31amThat's nice! I've stayed here for more than 8 years and I only got 1 year visa.. I got 3 years visa before, but now only 1 year, maybe because I quit my job as a company worker, and at the moment my income is not as much?
- mog86uk November 24, 2015 at 9:44amfreakymrq!! Have a good time in Japan. You'll be there over christmas and new years? ^^
Congrats Arachkid too. I thought you already had it, as I thought you can get it sooner than 5 years when you are married to a Japanese national. Must be very nice finally having that. - Arachkid November 24, 2015 at 10:43am5 years is the earliest you can get it for being married to a Japanese national - if you are not, it's a 10 year wait.
- beeant November 24, 2015 at 10:52amOh.. I thought if you're married to a Japanese, you can get it right away.
So I have to wait for about another 2 years..
I got マイナンバー yesterday, still not so sure what that is though.. - Arachkid November 24, 2015 at 10:57amBasically a social security number. That will be tied into most everything about you everywhere, that you should never show to anyone. But your employer wants it right away, and the number of any of your dependents. But hey, since it's the Japanese government, that information could never ever possibly be hacked. Garbage. :P
- beeant November 24, 2015 at 11:11amOh I see! thank you! So it's a sensitive information. I was about show it to my Japanese friend and ask what it is in more detail. haha
- Arachkid November 24, 2015 at 11:16amWell, if you trust them, I suppose. Just remember with that number, and access to the right systems, they would know everything about you that the government knows. How much you make, your medical history, anything.
- freakymrq November 24, 2015 at 2:24pm@Mog86uk ひさしぶり! I'll be around from the 15th to the 23rd in the Tokyo area with my father and cousin. Should be fun ^_^
- calvin_0 December 3, 2015 at 10:36am'yes' (I have been)

- mirandalad February 10, 2017 at 11:01ami plan to learn japanese without ever setting foot in japan. i don't know if this is possible.
north koreans are able to learn english without ever speaking to a westerner. if that is the case, then i should be able to learn japanese without ever setting foot in japan. i plan to learn via japanese media (jpop, jdramas, anime, japanese youtubers, ect, grammar textbooks, and manga.
i want to learn japanese not necessarily to socialize, but to browse the japanese internet, read japanese books and watch japanese tv. - mirandalad February 10, 2017 at 11:03amit's probably more difficult to learn japanese without ever socializing in japanese
- calvin_0 February 10, 2017 at 11:16ami'm able to learn english without speaking to well westerner... so your should able to pick up japanese without going to japan... interacting with native speakers just speed up the leaning process as your get more hands on practice.. you can also get similar practice by watching japanese show, if you can understand a japanese show without subtitle, your japanese should be acceptable.

- EliteXrocker May 31, 2017 at 6:54amIt was really cool :) There were lots of people from different countries :) And the school gives you a verbal test so they know which class to put you in depending on your level :) So it doesn't matter if you know hiragana or kanji or have a small vocabulary :) There is room for everyone :) And you can have japanese cooking and calligraphy or Manga if you want as well :) It was really cool :)
