You are the reason JAPAN Forward launched The Week - a podcast for busy people who want to keep abreast of Japan’s culture, politics, business, economy and research worlds, and sports, too.. Hosted by Arielle Busetto.
In our eleventh episode we hear about a South Korean activist group traveling to Berlin to seek removal of a Comfort Women statue there.
Further forward, we look at pets and microchips, and the effort to improve owner responsibility for the happiness of their dogs and cats. Then let us introduce you to several other trending topics, including the wonders of hot springs in the wild, found deep in the Japanese countryside. Find the related articles list below.
