Real Japanese for real life.
N3-level listening practice (Comprehensible Input) recorded in real places across Japan — izakayas, supermarkets, walks through Tokyo, hiking trails, cafes.
INARIS is a project to help Japanese learners experience the language as it actually sounds in daily life — not textbook Japanese, but the real thing.
I'm not a teacher. I film casual Japanese conversations the way they actually happen, so you can train your ear on natural Japanese.
🎧 Levels: N4 (Beginner) — N3 (Intermediate) — some N2
📍 Filmed in Tokyo, Niigata, Kyoto, Hakone, Yamanashi
🗓️ New listening video most weeks (Saturday)
▶ START HERE: Browse the playlists below — Tokyo Izakaya, Walk-and-Talk, Shopping, Eating, Travel.

Can I ask you guys something? 🌸
I ran my own language exchange event recently and thought
why isn't there a place where you can just do this every day?
so I'm actually thinking of building one 🎮
日本人 chat with japanese learners → earn points
english speakers chat with english learners → earn points
then use those points to go practice the language YOU'RE learning!
The whole thing looks like Animal Crossing pixel art
And eventually you'll be able to build your own room with your points 🏠
If you'd use this, what price feels right?

【Concept】
People who want to learn Japanese
and people who want to learn English.
We thought it might work best if the numbers were balanced.
So we’re trying a small language exchange in Futako-Tamagawa with
4 people who want to learn Japanese
4 people who want to learn English
Just 8 people in total.
For 90 minutes we’ll chat, play a few small games,
and switch between English and Japanese.
A relaxed space to practice and exchange languages.
【Event Details】
📍 Futako-Tamagawa
The exact location will be sent to participants
📅 April 5
⏰ 11:00 – 13:00
👥 Capacity: 8 people
(4 learning Japanese / 4 learning English)
💰 Participation: Free
Since this is our first event
Schedule (planned)
• Self introductions
• A small game
• Japanese conversation (30min)
• English conversation (30min)
• After event chat
After the event we might go grab some food together.
Since this is our first time organizing an event,
things might be a little messy — and that’s part of the fun.
If you enjoy relaxed and casual meetups,
we’d love to have you join.

Has anyone here ever been to a language exchange meetup?
I’m thinking of organizing one with 4 people who want to practice English and 4 people who want to practice Japanese
If anyone has ideas for things that worked well at one you went to, I’d love to hear them!
Also curious if anyone here has been to one before.

I just started developing a web service that turns YouTube subtitles into 16 languages!!
If this works well, I think a lot of different videos could become learning content!
Stay tuned and look forward to it

Thanks for answering the last poll!
I got some helpful advice in the comments, so I’m keeping the top two: “Miso Radio” and “YUTON.”
Since YouTube polls allow 4 options, I’m including both names again.
Let’s vote one more time — which one do you like best?
この前はアンケートに答えてくれてありがとう!
コメントでアドバイスをもらったから
前回のTOP2だった「Miso Radio」と「YUTON」を残して
もう1回アンケートするね!
良いと思う名前を投票してみてね!
