7 Types of Japanese People Foreigners May Come Across in Japan

Ben and Burke discuss some of the interesting types of Japanese people that foreigners may come across while living in Japan. They only really account for about 10% of the population so are rare, but when they do appear, it leaves a memorable impression. Some of these types include The Gaijin Hunter, the Helpful Hito, The Engish Vampire, The Gaijin Gawker, and some others that we discuss in the show. Enjoy!
