Welcome to my own personal January in Japan which I will be doing in conjunction with the Japanese Literature Challenge which runs throughout January and February.
Over the last couple of years, I have been reading more and more Japanese books, but it doesn't stop there. It includes food, movies and more but the big highlight for last year was obviously visiting both Japan and South Korea, which was an amazing holidays.
Since last January, here are most of the things that I have done that have a Japanese connection.
