Ohazassu Japan

I'm an Australian in Japan sharing my thoughts and experiences. First visit 1998. Moved here in 2012.

Welcome! Ohazassu is short for Ohayou Gozaimasu, which means good morning in Japanese!
おはざっす!It's a channel about life in Japan, places I go, people I meet, and more.

Hi, I’m John 👋 I'm an Australian from Sydney who first came to Japan in the late 90s on a working holiday visa. In 2012, I decided to permanently move to Japan. Ever since then I've been living and working in Nagoya City.

I speak Japanese, so I like to teach Japanese words at the end of my videos whenever I can. It's also my way of giving back to all the great teachers I've had who helped me learn along the way.

Join me as I share the ups and downs of everyday life, one cup of coffee and one conversation at a time. Subscribe and let’s explore life in Japan together!
