About A Geek in Japan

Author

Héctor García

I was born in Europe in 1981 and moved to Japan in 2004.

I write books about Japan and I love learning new things all the time. I enjoy reading and photography as a hobby, and generally like activities that involve the creation of new things more than just consuming contents.

You can start by reading my blog or learn what I’m doing now 🙂

The books

A Geek in Japan

I wrote a book about my observations while living here in Japan without many expectations, but after ten years since its release, A Geek in Japan is still a top seller on Amazon Japan ranking. It has been translated to eight languages and sold more than 100.000 copies.

Ikigai

After the success of my first book I continued writing and published Ikigai – The Japanese secret to a long and happy life in 2016, as of today, it has sold more than one million copies all over the world. Thank you to all my readers!

Mission

I always say that I’m NOT and expert in Japan. I like to keep a beginner’s mind and be surprised everyday by what I see and feel around me here in Tokyo. Let’s keep learning about Japan together everyday!
