Hello / Привет / Salom

My name is Marjona, and I am the creator of May in Tokyo, a blog about everyday life, culture, travel, and relocation in Japan. Through my content, I show Japan as I experience it: beautiful and fascinating, but not perfect. I talk not only about famous tourist destinations but also about real daily life, including Japanese customs, prices, food, housing, transportation, social rules, and the small details that visitors do not always notice. I enjoy exploring the differences between life in Japan and the CIS countries, challenging common stereotypes, and explaining things that may seem unusual or surprising to foreigners. Some of my videos are informative and serious, while others are lighthearted and ironic, but my goal is always to communicate honestly and clearly.

My content includes: ・honest stories about everyday life in Japan; ・Japanese culture, traditions, and etiquette; ・reviews of food, cafés, shops, and unusual products; ・travel routes and beautiful places; ・information about relocation, adaptation, and language schools; ・comparisons between Japan and the CIS countries; ・personal observations, stories, and daily moments. I create content mainly for Russian-speaking audiences from Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and other CIS countries. You can find my videos on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. My goal is not simply to show a beautiful image of Japan. I want to help people understand the country more deeply, make informed decisions about traveling or moving here, and discover both its advantages and its challenges. Welcome to May in Tokyo — a blog about real life in Japan through the eyes of someone who experiences it every day.
