​Hi y'all, I'm Holly, a Tennessee native living in Kanazawa, Japan. Living in Japan and experiencing Japanese culture firsthand was a lifelong dream of mine, so when I was offered a teaching position here, I left my family and friends behind to set out on a brand new adventure. If you are interested in traveling to Japan, studying the Japanese language, learning how to cook Japanese food, anime & manga, and what it's like to live and work in Japan, then welcome to the family! Be sure to check out my videos and subscribe to my YouTube channel or find a language course that fits your needs by clicking the Learn tab at the top of the page.

Thanks, and welcome!
