Dear reader,
Why don’t you join us for the second edition of Kokoro Conversations?
Kokoro Conversations are events in which you can get your voice heard and join fellow Kokoro Media readers for open-hearted conversations about the joys and the challenges of life in Japan. There, you can meet new people to exchange thoughts, compare your experiences, ask for advice, and find support.
You can participate regardless of your current location or situation, provided you are interested in Japanese culture, life, and travel. However, you should be able to speak English at a conversational level.
