Inside JapanGov is the official podcast of JapanGov, the Government of Japan's web portal. Building on stories shared through the JapanGov website and social media, we take a closer look at a variety of initiatives from across Japan and what lies behind them. We hope these will offer new perspectives and perhaps even a few surprises about the many charms of our country. New episodes are available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Amazon Music.
