I think maybe older abroad in Japan might be fine. Rachael and Jun is another one I used to watch. I consume that type of content less the longer I live here. If you're into outdoorsy stuff Go North Japan is really nice

Yeah, 建前 and 本音 are definitely a thing to get used to, heh. I agree, specific questions are definitely helpful to answer

I don't know of any Japanese who really know of Lemmy and I've never seen it mentioned online (though mastadon is at least somewhat known, but not by the average japanese). Also asking in English is going to limit the pool of respondants quite a bit. I'm not japanese but I've been living here since 2015 and speak japanese on a daily basis with my wife and family.

• really depends upon what you're into and where you want to go. English ability can drop pretty rapidly outside of the cities, but I got by with and handful of words and gestures when I started visiting
• not really. Some old building are tough, but you can duck. I have a buddy who's 194cm (I think) and he's fine (born and raised in Japan)
• not really. I did fine as mentioned it point 1 with some very basic words and I've met plenty of people who knows zero and enjoy their visits

Having been to many a hot spring, yes (but only in my head).

Edit: seriously, though, sitting in an outdoor bath in the mountains as snow slowly falls is one of life's great simple pleasures

I've even living in Japan for almost a decade (probably closer if you count times I visited for months before living here). If you have specific questions, I'm happy to answer them.

I mean, I found the "fuck me" part surprising. I wasn't trying to attack you or anything. To me, there are steps between things and disease/disorder and I wanted to make sure it was clear; that's all. Yours was I think the second from top when I looked which is why I commented on it. I actually haven't finished going through them all yet

? I'm confused by this reaction. I offered another possibility. I also pointed out that 'full night' wasn't in there because jumping straight to a disease/disorder seemed a bit strong when there might be other posibilities.

Constantly differing shifts can also keep the body confused because there's no schedule and it doesn't even remotely match the light cycle outside. OP also didn't say 'full night of sleep' in their post.

Good sleep hygiene to start. After that, always go to sleep and get up at the same time (or as close to it as possible). do not use snooze and get out of bed when your alarm goes off.

That's what helped me, anyway.

That is both good and horrifying, but I'm glad you have something better :)
