FAQ:
Where are you from? Are you Japanese?
– I am Swedish.

For how long have you lived in Japan?
– I came to Japan in 2008.

Why did you move to Japan?
– I was interested in Japan since I was a child, largely thanks to growing up playing a lot of (Japanese) videogames as well as a brief interest in anime during my teenage years. When I finally came here for the first time I felt that it was a really nice and interesting country, and I decided to do what I could to move here permanently.

How did you get a visa to Japan? 
– It’s complicated and my case is quite different from most, as I’ve always been self-employed. But basically, as long as you can show the immigration authorities that you have a stable income, there’s usually a way. Personally, I was here on journalist visas until a few years ago when I got married. Now I have a spouse visa. 

Do you work in Japan?
– Yes, I’m a photographer. Currently, most of my work is related to tourism and travel in Japan, but I also do portrait photography as well as documentary work. I used to write news stories and articles about Japan as well, mostly for newspapers in Sweden, but for the last 3-4 years, my work has been almost exclusively about photography. Sometimes I appear on TV too.

What camera do you use?
– My live walks are recorded with my phone, a Oneplus 8 Pro or IPhone 12 Pro Max, mounted on a DJI OM4 Gimbal. For my “real work”, I mostly use a Nikon Z7, but I also have a Z6, Fujifilm X-T3, Leica Q and Ricoh GR III that comes with me from time to time.

What advice would you give to someone wanting to move to Japan?
– Study, learn a skill that’s in demand in Japan. There are plenty of available jobs here. Some knowledge of the Japanese language would also help a lot, not just to get you a job, but also so that you can actually enjoy life while living here as well.

How did you learn Japanese?
– I went to language school in Tokyo for one year in 2010-2011. After that, I’ve also taken some online courses and studied on my own. 

How many languages do you speak?
– Swedish, English and Japanese reasonably well, and also a bit of German, as I lived there before coming to Japan.

Will you make bicycle videos? 
– No. Streaming and interacting with my viewers while riding a bike would be too dangerous.

Can you show your face? 
– I prefer to keep a bit of privacy here on YouTube, at least for the time being. I do streams exclusive to my Patreon followers from time to time where I show my face though, so if you are really eager to see what I look like, and if you want to support the channel as well, you should consider joining me there. http://www.patreon.com/tokyoexplorer
