Japan - from Jan 2025 until Jan 2026 View all
Description
We are 3 friends (Jessandelena is their joint account) who studied at Yamanashi Gakuin University together and completely fell in love with Japan!
After completing our degrees back home, we have decided to come back on a Working Holiday Visa and experience everything we missed whilst studying.
We are motivated by the diverse landscape Japan has to offer- from cities to rural areas and countryside, we want to explore all the sites Japan has to offer in whatever forms they come. We are aiming to do a tour around Japan seeing everywhere we missed and think we can make the most of this through Workaway!
We're all creative individuals studying Film, Media, and Literature subjects and are very interested in the way these present themselves in Japanese culture. We were very inspired by the Japanese media we consumed and can't wait to see more.
