About JOY OF LIFE

JOY OF LIFE is a personal lifestyle journal written from Sapporo, Japan.

The author, YUJI (50), has spent years trying things for himself — one-meal-a-day eating, cutting back on alcohol, aesthetic medicine, men’s hair removal, inner care — and writing down what actually happened, including the parts that did not work.

Since 2025 the site also follows daily life with Koguma, a Maltese × toy poodle, around Sapporo.

Most articles are in Japanese. English pages are added gradually; the language switcher at the top of each page shows what is available.
