About Johannes:

Johannes is the man behind the YouTube Channel Japanese Journey where he provides information and helpful tips about Japan through high production value videos. He initially got into Japan when he was younger while he practiced the martial art Aikido in Germany. However, it wasn't until he met his wife later on where he actually considered ever living in Japan.

In 2016, Johannes made the big move to start his life in Japan. In the beginning, he wanted to start a blog that followed his journey learning Japanese, so he created Japanese Journey - the blog. He had prior experience creating a monetized blog on Android App Development, so he thought about doing the same thing, except about Japan. He eventually made a YouTube channel under the same name, and started posting videos about Japan that could help people who were interested out.

Outside of YouTube, Johannes works full time in an IT Company where he specializes in Android App Development. Despite the long hours, Johannes manages to create high quality content, including information on how to work in Japan in the IT industry and acing the interview. Moving forward, Johannes is working even harder, squeezing out all the time he can to provide everyone with quality, relevant videos consistently.
