  • Living in Japan and working in a traditional Japanese office environment. This is a Toyota day in the life of a Japanese Auto Repair Shop worker, 30 year old, Erina. This is also a Japanese office tour inside of a Japanese auto repair shop in Toyota. We start this very typical day in her Japanese home, commute via Toyota car to her Toyota car repair shop. This is a day in the life of Erina and we get to see her with co-workers and Japanese mechanics in how they work in Japan. This is a peak into Japanese work culture as well as the work culture in Japan. We see her typical working hours in Japan and how it is working in Japan as a female in her position also known as a Japanese office lady, Japanese OL or Japanese salary woman. Her day in the life in Japan may be a bit different than some Japanese salarymen, but her experiences in the office and auto repair shop is quite common for Japanese employees in her position. The Japanese auto repair shop is also pretty common in terms of work-life. If anythings, the car repair shop is a very traditional office in Japan with Rajio Taiso, cleaning and work ethic. So all in all, this is an example of Japan life as well as Japan countryside life if you were to work in a traditional Japanese company. You should always be aware of Japanese culture when working in a Japanese office.

      Honestly there is NO way possible that the Japanese are worse when it comes to the auto repair business, it is NOT possible. Sure they probably have their bad apples, but in the USA it is ALL bad apples, the good ones are as rare as hens teeth, and I worked in the industry here in the USA for 25 years! So I KNOW the reality here in this country.

    Dude, I just want to say as an American living in Japan for 18 years now, fluent Japanese and immersed in the culture... even I find you videos great. Somehow, I find these videos rather comforting. It’s like I’m watching another version of me that’s able to view different things from another perspective. Anyways, well done bro. Most of all I can’t help but wish you all the best with your new family. I hope it brings you all the happiness you’ve worked so hard for and deserve.
