I'm Rashaad, and I have plenty of experience with Japan. I still don't speak Japanese as well as I'd like, but that's another story. I was born in Yokosuka as my dad was in the U.S. Navy. After graduating from college, I worked at a private language school in Yokohama. After bouncing back and forth between the U.S. and France, I returned to Japan, working in Yamagata Prefecture as a member of the JET Program. I spent two years in Haguro, a village that merged into Tsuruoka. Haguro is a very lovely place. I'm excited to join Japan Tourist because I love telling Japan-related stories.
