This is an amazing podcast! I absolutely love the humor and the connection I feel when listening to it. It’s a dream of mine to travel and hopefully one day move to japan I’m learning the language now and it’s really nice to have some more insight into the culture. It’s a nice twist to have English and the Japanese language is incorporated together I feel like I’m learning a lot so thank you both for taking the time to make this :)

At first I thought that the relationship between him and his wife was relatable, but the more that I listen to it then the more I am surprised that a husband that has lived in Japan for 20 years is so culturally insensitive. But what’s worse is that he hushes 🤫 her like she’s a disobedient child and he corrects her constantly. In case anyone wonders, no wife (or girlfriend, or any woman relation) needs to be talked down to like that. Talk to your wife like you would talk to the President of the United States if he were deserving of the title... err, hopefully with a buttload of respect, especially when it’s heard round the world.

Iko and Ako bring great perspectives being a foreigner and Japanese person repsectively. They give insight in current Japanese trends so not only is it informative, they also use Terreace House as a way of addressing cultural practices.

The hosts Ike and Ako are married and living in Japan, and have discussed a range of topics about life and culture in Japan. Recently, they have turned their attention to the new series of Terrace House now being released weekly on Netflix in Japan. The podcast is unique in providing both an immegrant and native perspective on the show and Japan in general.
