When Englishman Chris Broad landed in a rural village in northern Japan he wondered if he'd made a huge mistake. With no knowledge of the language and zero teaching experience, was he about to be the most quickly fired English teacher in Japan's history?
Abroad in Japan charts a decade of living in a foreign land and the chaos and culture clash that came with it. Packed with hilarious and fascinating stories, this book seeks out to unravel one the world's most complex cultures.
Spanning ten years and all forty-seven prefectures, Chris takes us from the lush rice fields of the countryside to the frenetic neon-lit streets of Tokyo. With blockbuster moments such as a terrifying North Korean missile incident, a mortifying experience at a love hotel and a week spent with Japan's biggest movie star, Abroad in Japan is an extraordinary and informative journey through the Land of the Rising Sun.

Customer Reviews
A Brooding for Japan.
I loved this book, I had never heard of Chris Broad before reading this book but now I am going to watch all his YouTube content as I have loved reading about the people and places he was able to meet. I had read the Gaisha books all of them almost, when I stumbled across Chris,s book it gave another slant on my growing interest in everything Japanese. Keep it up Chris and here’s to your next adventure. Diane Singh. Lady Singh’s the blues.
Just gorgeous !
Wonderful book: Funny, knowledgeable, unusual, quirky and especially full of completely unexpected news about the Japanese and their unique country.
I will read it again.
