Living far from home is not always easy. It’s common to feel homesick or nostalgic, especially when we have just moved to a new place. If you’re living in Tokyo and feeling homesick, there are some things you can do to feel better.
First, try to make your new place feel like home. Decorate your apartment with your favorite things, pictures of your family and friends, and some items from your home country. Cook some of your favorite foods, listen to music that reminds you of home. This will be comforting and help you to feel more settled.
Second, find a community. There are many groups and clubs in Tokyo that cater to people from all over the world. Joining a community will not only help you to meet new people but will also give you a sense of belonging. You can find these groups online and social media.
Lastly, get out and explore Tokyo! Tokyo is an incredible city with so much to see and explore. Go for a walk, check out the local attractions, try some new food. By getting out and exploring your new city, you’ll be surprised how quickly it feels like home.
