Welcome to My Corner of the Internet!
Hello! I’m Asano. I’m a bilingual mom in Japan, navigating the wonderful journey of raising a multicultural family. I’m originally from Yamanashi Prefecture, known for its stunning views of Mt. Fuji. After studying in the US, I returned to Japan. Now, I’m blending cultures, languages, and lifestyles. Join me as I share experiences of life in Japan, from bilingual parenting to exploring local traditions!
My Journey
As a graphic designer, I’m passionate about storytelling. Life in Japan is an adventure! I’m constantly learning about daily life here. My Japanese American husband and I bridge East and West. We’re excited to welcome our second child in December 2024!
Raising Bilingual Kids
Raising bilingual kids in our bicultural home is rewarding and challenging. Patience and communication are key. Embracing our cultures gives our children a unique gift. They’ll see the world through multiple perspectives. I hope this enriches their lives forever!
