Welcome to Ohazassu

Visiting places. Talking to people. Sometimes Japanese language stuff too.

G'day, I’m John. I'm an Australian guy living in Japan. I have a passion for sharing experiences. Thanks for stopping by!

What does Ohazassu mean?

Lots of people ask me what Ohazassu means. It comes from a casual, shortened version of ohayou gozaimasu—a cheerful “good morning” in Japanese. An old friend and I started using it waaaaaaay back and we even further abbreviate it to "huzz" sometimes. 

What do you do on Ohazassu?

It's where I share things about work, culture, travel, language, and all the little things that make living here interesting.

I also enjoy visiting local businesses, chatting with owners and staff, and sharing their stories. It’s a great way to show the human side of Japan and connect with the people who make each place special.

In closing...

I happen to LOVE coffee. Lots of coffee. (Pour-over is life ☕)
So, you'll see me posting coffee pics almost every day on my X and Insta accounts.

Well, I think that just about covers it! See you at the next video. Bye for now!
