JAPAN EDGE- Exploring Japan News, Culture and Beyond with Local Perspectives and Analysis
Japan's Journey in 2025
In this first episode of Japan Edge in 2025, we explore three things to watch for in Japan this year.
First, the ever-more favorable foreign exchange rate offers a prime opportunity for visitors to enjoy Japan's rich culture and affordable dining! Hear tips for a great sushi experience at Sushiro, too.
Next, we highlight Expo 2025 Osaka, set to run from April to October, featuring global pavilions and innovative themes focusing on global sustainability and quality of living. It promises to showcase international collaboration and Osaka’s unique charm.
Finally, we turn to Japan’s Upper House election expected in July. This pivotal event will test the momentum for political reform following the LDP's loss of its Lower House majority in 2024.
There are so many more to talk about, but as a starter, join us here for insights and updates on Japan’s journey!
