Updates After the Noto Earthquake, Dragons, & Kanji of the Year – Life In Japan Podcast Episode 85
This week we’re happy to be recording from back in our apartment! We’ll start with an update on how things are going after the Noto Earthquake, and some news about the area. We shared a “24 hours after” episode last week that we recorded from a hotel, but didn’t have any video to go with it – so if you’re interested you can find that episode anywhere you get your podcasts.
Donations for the Ishikawa Earthquake can be given to the prefecture directly through this link: https://www.pref.ishikawa.lg.jp/suitou/gienkinr0601.html
English information on donating to Noto Earthquake relief fund can be found here (a non-exhaustive list): https://www.tokyoweekender.com/japan-life/news-and-opinion/where-to-donate-to-help-victims-of-japans-2024-noto-peninsula-earthquake/
We’ll also talk about Year of the Dragon facts, omikuji fortunes, coming-of-age day, and the kanji that was chosen to represent 2023.
