Top off your glasses and get your kanpai-face on because Happy Hour Japan is finally back for Season 2!
In Season 2, Happy Hour Japan will focus more on taking you around Japan and teaching you Japanese as well as showcasing Japanese culture.
But I’m sure you have tons of questions on your mind like:
What’s the new format?
Is it going to be a one man show?
Has Kevin found “someone else?”
Rest assured, all of your questions will be answered in the Season Opener!

Hey!
The cherry blossoms have started blooming here in Japan which means Spring is finally here! The weather’s warming up, kids are gearing up for the new school year, and mothers are rushing to the store to pick up the latest bento goods!
Wait…bento goods?
Yes, bento goods! Have you ever heard of deko-ben or kyara-ben?!? If not, this episode is a MUST SEE!

I was archiving some old videos when I realized that we still hadn’t made a bloopers video yet!
I know it might be hard to believe, but Aaron and I make A LOT of mistakes filming HHJ. lol. I took some of our favorites and put them together in this short compilation video. Let us know which blooper you like the best!

Ohisashiburidesu!
Sorry for not posting a video in so long, it’s been a very busy few weeks. I hope all of you are doing well.
In this episode, I discuss how the Japanese celebrate Valentine’s Day. It’s a little different than you might be used to. Plus, I introduce a holiday called White Day and what it’s all about.
Kanpai!

Hi everyone,
I’m back with another episode! After going on a couple of road trips over the last few weeks, I thought it would be a good chance to talk about driving in Japan.
As a lot of you know, driving isn’t the most popular way for travelers to Japan to get from point A to point B. Nevertheless, I still felt it would be worth discussing for those of you out there who are more adventurous and would like to travel somewhere (like to an onsen) that is only accessible by car, as well as for any of you planning to move here.
There are definitely a few things to be aware of before getting behind the wheel so be sure to watch this video if you plan to drive in Japan.
Kanpai,
Kevin
Some of you caught wind of my little accident on the slopes and I started getting emails from viewers like yourself asking if I was OK. I really appreciate everyone’s concern and thought it’d be best to make a quick little video to let you all know I’m doing fine.
I also thought this would be a perfect opportunity to talk about my experiences with health care in Japan as well as share a tip I have on learning vocabulary!
Kanpai,
Kevin
