It has been a long time since I last wrote an article! Long story short, I have been in Japan for almost a month right now while studying in Waseda University. Many people often asked me about my daily life in Japan. Is it worth it to live in Japan? Is it true that Japan is a country embracing solitude? Is Japan a very good country to live in for introverts?
Short Answer: Yes, For All Questions Above
Indeed, Japan is probably the best country for introverts to live in. But, that doesn’t mean Japan is perfect.
As an introvert (maybe), I have my own opinions related to these questions. Do note that I am not a 100% introvert, and probably nobody is too. I don’t have social anxiety either since I like to make new friends whenever and wherever I can.
