About Yamaboshi

English for things worth talking about.

Yamaboshi is a monthly English salon in Nagasaki. We use local history, personal memory, and the city's long connection with the wider world as starting points for real conversation.

You do not need to be a history expert, and you do not need perfect English. Curiosity matters more.
