Riding the New Hokuriku Shinkansen Extension From Kanazawa to Tsuruga
03/26/24 • 46 min
The Hokuriku Shinkansen Line was extended for the first time since 2015, and we got seats on the very first train from Kanazawa to Tsuruga, the new end of the line!
Why did we wake up at 4am? How was the train journey? What did we do in Tsuruga? We’ll talk about all that this week!

Moving To A New Country - Vernal Equinox & Big Life Changes This Fall
We have a big life update this week - we’re moving to a new country in the Fall! We’ll talk about where we’re moving and some of the factors that led to our decision.
We picked today to talk about this since March 20th is Vernal Equinox Day and the spring equinox is traditionally seen as a time of new life & renewal. We thought it would be a poetic time to share a big change in our life!
But don’t worry - the podcast will still be focused on life in Japan content through August!
