Hello! I’m Haruki, the creator of HaruTre, a website dedicated to helping people around the world better understand Japan through clear, practical, and easy-to-understand articles.
My goal is simple: to make Japan easier to understand for travelers, language learners, and anyone interested in Japanese culture and everyday life.
While I work as a licensed physical therapist in Japan, this website is where I share another passion—creating helpful online content that introduces Japanese culture, everyday life, seasonal traditions, travel experiences, and the questions people around the world ask about Japan.
Why I Created HaruTre
HaruTre originally started as a personal blog about Japan. As I continued writing and discussing new ideas with ChatGPT, I realized there was an opportunity to create something even more valuable for readers around the world.
Together, we began developing articles that answer the questions people around the world ask about Japan—from travel and culture to everyday life and local customs.
People around the world are curious about Japanese customs, transportation, food, etiquette, seasonal traditions, and the everyday experiences that make Japan unique.
Rather than simply sharing information, I wanted to create articles that explain Japan clearly and help readers understand the country from different perspectives.
