I’m from Japan!

Online glasses shopping is pretty common here too, and I’ve personally used Zoff (https://www.zoff.co.jp/) — they’re affordable, have lots of frame styles, and let you enter your prescription online. They also have a virtual try-on feature on their website, so you can see how the glasses look on your face before buying. Shipping within Japan is fast and reliable.

Another unique option in Japan is Shitsuji Megane eyemirror (https://ec.eyemirror.jp/ ), which translates to “Butler Glasses.” They’re known for collaborating with anime and VTuber franchises, so it’s especially popular among fans of Japanese pop culture. Some of their designs are themed around specific characters or series — very Japan!

I’m on Rakuten Mobile. It’s cheap, but the signal isn’t great outside cities, so I wouldn’t really recommend it unless you’re in a more urban area.

It’s not very reliable compared to big carriers like au or docomo — during peak times, the connection can get quite slow, though it doesn’t completely stop working.

Japan.

¥968/month (around $6 USD) for up to 3GB with free calls.
If I use more, the price changes automatically — ¥2,068 for 3–20GB, and ¥3,168 if I go over 20GB.

Sunny and pleasant weather.

However, hay fever is severe.

I am Japanese.

Japanese people can identify letters by looking at their shapes to some extent, so unless you have presbyopia, there is no problem with small letters.

Even if these were written in the same size as the alphabet, I can read them. ex: 薔薇、憂鬱、贔屓、鳳凰

I recently switched from a Suzuki Spacia to a Nissan Sakura.

In Japan, the roads are narrow, so a Kei car is very convenient.

I probably post frequently.

File servers and multiple BOTs are also running.

It may be a little expensive, but it is a typical amount of money for a VPS that runs Mastodon somewhat comfortably in Japan.

Mastodon is used by me alone and costs ¥1590/month.
Misskey is free with OCI for less than 5 people.
PieFed is ¥491/month.

Lemmy is the biggest server in Japan, but I host it at home because it has about 5 MAUs.
(Unfortunately, it is not popular in Japan.)

Media is R2, but it is still within the limits of no billing.

Similar to Godan, but I prefer this one.
