Hi there everyone, we hope that everything is settling in well now that the winter holidays are over! We also have an announcement.. Hiragana at Home, Part 3 has released!

As a mother living in Japan and a second-language speaker of Japanese, I longed for a home education resource for exposing young children to Japanese language in a way that was gentle, simple, play-based, and not time-consuming or filled with busy work. Whether you live in Japan or overseas, if you want to introduce your pres ..read more

Hiragana Part 3: Release Update!

Happy New Year!! Japan has had a tumultuous beginning of the year, including earthquakes, tsunami, fires, and a plane collision within just the first two days of 2024. Although our home was not affected directly, a friend of ours was in the danger zone when the events of January 1st occurred, and we are deeply grateful that they are safe. Japan is a disaster-prone country, but full of resilient people that come together to help each other as a community when catastrophes happen. This is one of the things that I love about Japan! Despite the unfortunate start to this new year, we pray for the v ..read more

We’re looking forward to settling back into our regular home routine.

Summer is here, and it has been eventful at the Haruna Home! We spent much of spring in the garden planting and enjoying the good weather. We also traveled to the city twice so that my husband could do some vocal workshops, as well as meeting up with friends and relatives. In April through June I was in the third trimester, so I spent the latter part of pregnancy taking daily walks and swimming in the public pool, all in the hopes of encouraging our second-born to make his way into our arms.. But, despite our efforts, he ended up being born at 41 weeks and 2 days.. well past his “due date”! Ou ..read more
