Writing about Japanese Culture - What Is It Like?

Do You Love Japanese Culture? MATCHA Is Seeking Culture Writers!

Try to remember the first time you came to Japan. What kind of guides and books did you use to learn about the places that you visited and the aspects of culture that interested you? Was the information you found there enough or was it too much? After you got acquainted with Japanese culture, have you ever wished you'd write those guide articles yourself?

At MATCHA, our task is to introduce Japanese culture in an attractive and professional way. From famous destinations and World Heritage sites to local charms and facilities, we strive to offer just the right amount of information so that travelers can enjoy their experience of visiting Japan to the fullest.

Japan boasts a rich history and multi-faceted culture and contributing to a deeper understanding of this culture among international visitors is a type of work that is both enriching and requiring a lot of responsibility.

That is why we call out to everyone who has an authentic passion for Japanese culture and enjoys learning and writing about it to help us in our work of introducing quality information related to Japan.
