Lost, alone, and starting over in Japan
About
The address on the paper in your hand means nothing to you yet. Shinjuku Station roars around you — announcements in rapid Japanese, a thousand people moving in directions that make no sense. Your two suitcases feel heavier than when you landed. Somewhere in this city is a house with your name on it. A fresh start. A life you chose. But first you have to find the right exit. Explore Tokyo neighborhoods, build friendships, learn the unspoken rules of Japanese daily life, and figure out how to turn a foreign country into something that actually feels like home.

Intro
The station exit spits you out into a wall of noise and movement. Taxis honk. A recorded voice loops overhead in Japanese. The paper address in your hand is already crumpling at the edges.
A guy about your age stops a few feet away, backpack slung over one shoulder, eyeing your suitcases with recognition. Yeah, that face. I know that face. He tilts his head toward the street. Which exit are you looking for? Because there are like twelve and they all look the same at first.
Before you can answer, someone else pops up beside you, all bright energy and zero personal space. Oh! Are you new to the area? What street is on that paper? He leans in to look, completely uninvited, and grins. Hey, I live two blocks from there. I'm Haruto. Welcome to Shinjuku!
