Vitus Stenhøj Schiøtz, a 23-year-old Dane, relocated to Japan on a working holiday visa. Initially overwhelmed by Tokyo's hectic atmosphere, he opted for a quieter life in Nozawaonsen, a small ski town. Though he makes only $8 an hour as a chef, the low cost of living allows him to save money. Despite feeling somewhat isolated as a foreigner, Vitus appreciates Japan's culture and lifestyle and is exploring his opportunities for longer stays in the country.
"I tried to visit areas I thought would be less busy, but it's jam-packed everywhere. Areas like the crossing in Shibuya were too much for me."
"As a foreigner solo traveling, I felt separated, and in a sense, I felt I was wrong for being there."
"I really love the culture, the people, and the way of life. In September, I started researching how a Danish guy like me could stay longer."
"I'd heard Japan has some of the best snow in the world, and I also wanted to work a ski season, so I researched smaller towns."
