Abroad in Japan

Abroad in Japan is a channel run by British YouTuber Chris Broad, which has 2.59 million subscribers as of March 2022

After graduating from university in 2012, Chris Broad moved to Yamagata Prefecture to work as an English teacher, and began posting videos on the theme of "Japan not found in guidebooks."

At first, he posted vlogs and daily life in the Tohoku region, but in 2017, he posted a video called "12 Things You Shouldn't Do in Japan!", which has been viewed 16 million times. In the UK, it's not uncommon for people to be unable to express their opinions, and his easy-to-understand explanation of the Japanese distinction between "honne" and "tatemae" resonated with many people

In recent years, the group has been increasingly active in Sendai, including streaming a documentary about the recovery of the coastal areas of Miyagi Prefecture from the Great East Japan Earthquake, giving lectures at Tohoku University, and appearing in a video introducing Miyagi Prefecture for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics

Not only does it feature videos that capture Sendai from a British perspective, but it also has many videos that capture the Tohoku region from a broader perspective, so if you're interested, be sure to check out Abroad in Japan
