Got a question you’d like to ask Hilary? Send it to askhilary@savvytokyo.com. Dear Hilary,I recently ended a relationship with a Japanese man and I’m trying to sort out if I was not understanding of his culture. We are both in our 40s and live in Canada. He came to Canada from Tokyo in his 20s for college where we first met (just friends). Just over a year ago we started to date. In spring we decided we would move in together in t...

Got a question you’d like to ask Hilary? Send it to askhilary@savvytokyo.com. Hey Hilary,My question is not about a relationship. It’s about my soon-to-be four years old daughter. She has speech and language delay. She can only say a few words properly and cannot form a simple sentence. We took her to the doctor for autistic tests but it seems like that is not the case. We are trying our best from our side but there is hardly any ...

Got a question you’d like to ask Hilary? Send it to askhilary@savvytokyo.com. Hey Hilary,I’m American and dating a Japanese guy—we both live and work in the same industry in Europe. We’ve been dating for three months and I think I’m the first non-Japanese person he’s ever dated. I’ve dated Asian American guys before without trouble, but I’m really having communication problems with him. We met online and chatted fine, obviously st...

Got a question you’d like to ask Hilary? Send it to askhilary@savvytokyo.com. Dear Hilary,I’m really into Japanese horror movies and old ghost stories. I’ve read a lot about it and discovered most of the stories through YouTube. I’ve also recently started following some channels that visit actual haunted locations too. I know there are a lot of haunted places in Tokyo, but I’m not really sure where to start when it comes to visiti...

Got a question you’d like to ask Hilary? Send it to askhilary@savvytokyo.com. Hi Hilary,I have a lovely, wonderful, boyfriend; we’ve been dating for over a year now, and we’re planning on getting married in the near future. The only problem is, he doesn’t really talk about his past. Not his childhood, teenage years, or even recent past like adult years before we met. It was stressing me out because even though I know that he’s a g...

Got a question you’d like to ask Hilary? Send it to askhilary@savvytokyo.com. Hi Hilary,I don’t know where to begin. My Japanese boyfriend and I have been together for six years. We mostly speak Japanese together (I have N1) but he’s also almost a native English speaker. We’ve talked about marriage and kids and where to live, our parents getting older, all that stuff. We came to some compromises and we understand one another in ei...

Got a question you’d like to ask Hilary? Send it to askhilary@savvytokyo.com. Hi Hilary,I’ll just start out by saying that I’ve had nothing but horrible experiences dating in Japan for many reasons. I’ve continued to keep an open mind and have dated many Japanese men, but I’ve finally come to accept that the cultural differences are just far too different for me, especially when it comes to expectations in relationships h...

Savvy Tokyo's resident "Love in Japan" columnist, Hilary Keyes, answers anonymous questions from readers on everything from dating in Japan to women’s health issues. Got a question you’d like to ask Hilary? Send it to: askhilary@savvytokyo.com. Hi Hilary. I’m an American woman in Japan. I saw this on Reddit and was wondering: why do Japanese people insist on co-sleeping with their kids? Like I’ve seen entire families sharing a bedroom in movies and TV shows, and heard of other people sharing a futon with their kids instead of their spouse until the child is nearly in middle school. Sexless mar...
