333. What Is "Oyakoko"? Small Ways to Show Your Parents You Care | 親孝行について考えてみました

My mom just got a passport, and I'm the reason why.

In this episode, I talk about Oyakoko (親孝行 — caring for and giving back to your parents) and its opposite, Oyafuko (親不孝）. We look at the kanji together, visit a street in Fukuoka with an unexpected name, and pick up everyday expressions like 門限を破る (to break curfew). I also share three small ways I think we can show our parents we care, plus a proverb most people in Japan know. Take your time and listen along!
