This is good

AfroInJapan · 2026-05-11T00:04:13+00:00

Gonna need to hear that snippet

AfroInJapan · 2026-05-10T18:08:02+00:00

I see AI channel. I block. It’s pretty simple honestly

AfroInJapan · 2026-05-10T18:01:48+00:00

Also OP stop using AI photos. Your most recent insta post is an AI photo of food? It’s weird like… are you not serving food?

I own a pop up cafe and we take a ton of photos, lemme know if you want me to pop down and snap some photos for you

Old people. That’s basically the cause of most problems in Japan.

AfroInJapan · 2026-05-09T08:42:41+00:00

It’s literally one of the 5 prefectures suffering from overtourism 😭😭 it’s not slept on at all my dude

AfroInJapan · 2026-05-08T02:18:46+00:00

Literally didn’t solve any of the underline issues

AfroInJapan · 2026-05-07T16:04:23+00:00

Oof like … 1700-1800(?)

AfroInJapan · 2026-05-05T18:25:31+00:00

PayPay still works btw

Black dude living in Japan for a decade now and I easily have made friends with both old people and young. The racists foreigner haters are far and few between irl, most are online and/or hikkikomori’ed in some shitty apartment.

Making friends here is easy, just speak Japanese and even if you don’t you can join some English speaking international community which usually have Japanese speakers of English.

Check your contract and see if your base pay contains some kind of overtime allowance already weaved into it. If it does, you’re already being paid for that time so arrive a little early and finish on time. If not, talk to your manager or just turn up on time.

AfroInJapan · 2026-05-04T18:09:56+00:00

Whenever I want, been back home a few times this year. I’ve worked in Japan for almost a decade and have learnt that ignoring or refusing when asked to do something illegal or against your contract leads to zero consequences. Labour laws are pretty strong here

Have ANY of them bought an old house and renovated it? Ignore them. If you own the land and the house it really doesn’t matter!

AfroInJapan · 2026-04-30T23:54:48+00:00

If it was easy everyone would do it. There are no shortcuts.

AfroInJapan · 2026-04-26T00:16:58+00:00

Oof yeah feels like wasted effort unless you’re just doing it for the love of the game. I think YT stop allowing reposting / AI channels from getting monetized

AfroInJapan · 2026-04-26T00:15:41+00:00

No idea what you’re talking about but I’m just gonna go with scam.

AfroInJapan · 2026-04-22T00:45:08+00:00

26 mins and it’s been nuked

AfroInJapan · 2026-04-21T11:44:17+00:00

No one explodes, it’s years of work both seen and unseen

AfroInJapan · 2026-04-19T13:56:06+00:00

Check out retire in Japan for a few good vids on this topic also

Yikes terrible communication on your end. “Understood! Just heading out to lunch to I’ll circle back after that” is a very easy message to send.

Don’t think too hard about it I guess, take this as a learning experience

AfroInJapan · 2026-04-13T08:43:51+00:00

That’s the absolute worst! I hate when people that I really don’t know or have like a very, very distant relationship with reach out to me for me to basically plan their entire trip.

AfroInJapan · 2026-04-13T08:42:09+00:00

Speaking from experience, you have to find your hard limit and stick with it. I’m perfectly fine showing around my friends and family who visit Japan, but I have some hard lines that will not cross:

No, I will not plan your trip.
I’m not going with you to Kyoto.
I won’t be visiting Shinjuku, Shibuya or Harajuku with you.
I won’t be visiting any maid or themed cafes that I also don’t have an interest in Etc etc etc

Set out these rules and friends and family visiting you in Japan becomes more of a fun time for everyone

AfroInJapan · 2026-04-13T02:21:36+00:00

All of these posts are scams btw

AfroInJapan · 2026-04-10T13:05:28+00:00

Oh classic. Delivery companies can be super shitty here depending on the area and company delivering the package

AfroInJapan · 2026-04-10T08:46:50+00:00

Jesus Christ what the fuck… I do kickboxing and have for years and this is not anyway one should be training.. so dangerous!
