Hello everybun!♡
It’s been a little while since I wrote on this blog, so I thought I’d write a little life update about moving from London to Tokyo, and a couple other little updates…~♪
I actually was going to answer a lot of these questions on YouTube, but due to my studies being so demanding, I thought I’d write something here first while I’m still finding my footing, and sort out the full Q&A once I’m more settled, hehe! ♡ These will just be more basic questions, so please be patient with me while I prepare the full Q&A~

When did you move to Japan?
I think this question is probably the most asked one, that is easy to answer !
I moved to Tokyo this year, in April. The reason for this is because my birthday is in March so I could enjoy that day with family and friends, and then school in Japan tends to start in April too ~♪ You can also enjoy the cherry blossom season at this time as well, so it’s perfect…
How did you move to Japan?
This seems to be another question I get asked a lot, and while I think I’ll need to simplify it a lot for a blog post, I’ll try my best to explain !![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgYOKMfoDeNmakdJLceFEf3PJLKRApaskTM2QyoMGytwNtZslNkxxw4PHSfXXjwRNuE0aMjugyEu4LEPtfwhqR4UKGQZ0TKn6DL0lyRvAPyrCYTvDN_MpRqQYHCdeZCYQjdvGir7u-3bEuXQIMGZKuqEiNWnfLOltRg4fAwXKSlGSC6x6FIKObzeKD/s1600/0E63376E-29BA-4223-A909-F11A53F22AD4.gif)

So, I am studying Japanese language in Tokyo, which means I am on a student visa!
If you have a student visa, the school is responsible for helping you move to Japan♡
I actually had to choose between very little schools, as due to my health conditions most schools would not accept me due to being a ‘liability’… it was a little upsetting, for sure! But I didn’t let that stop me, and finally found a school that was right for me.
Of course, this involved a lot of paper work like finding my old school records, birth certificate, proof of residence, etc, but it’s definitely worth it!~♪
I really recommend doing your research into the best school for you, as it really differs from person to person~![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNS2yCK-IWj6OAp8RaJNqgwwzSXWdwEVtoPJXqDzzFgQdikSqODad2GcnQk1UNTgCrr29xmpBcg8HdIWR5JBX2zmjAn6T6Xl2LkqoHHjIx9rIJ3BTN-X7csvjjqSdjjfsmMwZ8pHOcAbapr1zgPsbEJ2YFJR4dRo4b_dQ_qPrxFyR6MBbuZeeZ1eM9/s1600/DDB84FD7-761D-41E7-81AD-8EC1C2E05768.gif)

Why did you move to Japan
So this question has so many answers, too..!♡
To be honest, I just felt that this was the natural step in my life that I needed to make, and very important to me.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsB0zMfPi0pgPJXthQCWmm-TlPbb9tBdi5d3-tVpVCkiUL-43fDhLeGksC-TNehZNdAopiB1pQch1MlBMp0kWIhKLJ3_h3LghqvPlTx_z9-fbXwz7bFRnd-KMo_KWpUUfAU8jX5wCm_-vHhYE4_b2HSl_-_iWNFcCprni8luLJYt-ppl0kzSvYOoX3/s1600/5A55921B-8168-41DD-9586-44983036919B.gif)

I had been in university studying philosophy in the UK, graduated with my degree, and started a full time job at an office. However, I didn’t feel the job was the right fit for me, and I was worried I’d be living a life full of regrets for not chasing my dreams…![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu1JomDTowbDpoH-aCDwfzj0f6k0h-ElvxR5CaBYQE82quG3D57_0kKjUhJK68pufPb1vCIlashxzR82541qGadvp0NeHmGwPxwtsfAPZs0nih3Rj2v1wdxuuk117J2DC0Go0sfTfypUGAQLEr9wceDjGq9eDqgnGZe8W168XCb1yKYjDL_3S40jBL/s1600/3AD3B335-3CE9-429B-87F9-CEF8759BCF76.gif)

I also felt like I’d just been in this very dark place for a few years, and I needed to get out of there; maybe one day I will talk about this, but moving to Tokyo to achieve my dreams really felt like the last option I had left. Of course, it’s not easy, and perhaps moving to a country with not the best care for mental health wasn’t the smartest idea.. but for me, it really was that or nothing!![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeg1lLv1tgPBE73pKz35Cec4HxZHs36v0-ow1GQMHPns9ouyes-me8kGUInb9otscM1ARDMsA9wNVA63TpKrbUZoxjUuHbnBHHnTVM5yeeglG6rjxNZvjU3zEe3rbydsmZGoNzjrbKoNM7Cx4HcrcuxIuzRCtAfvt6fTOC5sozzmxXyOiPpjM4D8k4/s1600/DD3F403D-ACD5-4FFB-A915-05BF44C75314.gif)
Of course, this isn’t just because I adore the fashion, cute goods and cultural aspects of Japan, I actually find learning Japanese to be really fun and rewarding!![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh92Zr5ytSoJr7yCp8OLXiAaRuujZkwWAgVwvS_giyTnisaNs7Kq4bFGjdWPAV-IK7kCFn1sPUeATVhL_UJwqq9Tpt5EV12O5Z6AfYwf7WxTOW_tW5_GUfF1PdQeWw2svh5CnVzvlR55cxavcD3dA8SujTsG7VXtt93sWa-uP6DiwnQXixrqLxsjoRs/s1600/C05697FC-5B07-4763-9DA3-61CFB775FFA6.gif)

As a city girl from London, Tokyo really feels fun to me and I knew that it would be a great place to live, with many like minded people♡
My goal in Tokyo is to become more confident in my Japanese, and to follow my passions, no matter how hard it might be. I refuse to let health issues stop me!~♪
How is life in Tokyo, Japan so far?
It can be so stressful and overwhelming at times, as there is a lot of work, and managing all aspects of your life at once can be very tiring. However, overall I know that this was the right decision for me, and that living here has many benefits~♪
I’ve met so many lovely people, been to so many amazing places and learnt a lot, although it’s only been 2 months of me living here…!![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRK1p7CeFZSsdrKA-3t-5OR-ec267Uqwio-8phoZR-BtIHpx8UajPxnzgSxujy8qsQ-uhl-GHhmygZDkzVTW2rV_ZHb1v-d1zGQ5eSEBonwKfCHKGdYNG6djLnRpOvZU4abNQzenQ-ezDmmelgNjwe63FJ-dFcnB9wQx1amsHczPNRt0PfhUgLQ8mF/s1600/11565D27-6B92-489C-B518-18A694943C52.gif)
Also, Tokyo has many cure places to visit like themed cafes, rabbit themed shops, girly clothes, beautiful nature and more, so I really have been enjoying living here… I even started a YouTube channel to document these cute places that I’ve found so far, and filming for that has been so much fun!♡
