Hi. I’m a Brit just married my Japanese girlfriend in Tokyo. If you are thinking of doing the same crazy thing. Please note . Paperwork. Then more paperwork. And after that more paperwork 😂😂. You will still be wrong , but if you do your homework and get multiple opinions ( each one said something different) from officials. You will do ok. Am now happily married but have to return home to start the dreaded visa process 😂😂😂

すみません、しばらく連絡がありませんでした。嬉しいニュースを伝えます。今週土曜日に東京へ数週間滞在し、そこに住んでいる彼女と結婚します。私たちは4年間付き合っており、そろそろ時が来ました。結婚後、滞在ビザを取得するという長い手続きを始めなければなりません。

If anyone has any tips I will gladly accept any :)

Kumamoto has alway been my hidden gem in Japan. It is such a beautiful area. I have been lucky enough to go a few times . 10 years ago it was devastated by a (7) earthquake. And again this week another 7. Both times with loss of life. My heart goes out to the families that have lost loved ones. Thankfully my friends are safe. After shocks are still happening. My thoughts are with you Kumamoto. ❤️

私のお気に入りの日本の曲は、BABYMETALの「ギミチョコ！！」です。というのも、この曲がきっかけで、日本にまつわる私の旅が始まったからです ☠️
