Saki's Sakura Diary
Slow and real stories of Japan from a local (Me)
Hi, I’m Saki:) I’m a 28-year-old Japanese, born and raised in Japan.
On this channel, I share authentic stories of Japanese daily life, culture, and traditions
— from cozy cafés and seasonal festivals to the true cost of living here.
I also love helping travelers with tips for exploring Japan in a more local, and deeper way.
In Japan we say ichigo ichie (一期一会)
— “once-in-a-lifetime encounters.”
I treasure this saying, and I hope my videos can be that kind of encounter for you.
Let’s explore Japan together!
