🧑‍💼 About the Founder

Hi, I’m Wally, the founder and editor-in-chief of Rising Sun Post.

I was born and raised in Japan, but I’ve always been fascinated by cultures beyond my own. As I grew older, I found myself connecting more and more with foreigners living in Japan. These experiences inspired me to create a platform where I could help break down language and cultural barriers.

Through this site, I aim to share real, nuanced perspectives on Japan with English-speaking readers around the world. Thank you for visiting, and I hope you enjoy the journey with us.
