Why we started
ASTORA is not here to tell anyone how to live. We share experiences, cultures and perspectives that help people look again at what they have taken for granted—and decide for themselves what comes next.

A podcast from Japan and Canada
ASTORA is a conversational podcast hosted by two friends living in Japan and Canada. Each episode explores one familiar subject—work, education, family or how we choose to live—from two everyday realities.

About us
ASTORA is not here to tell anyone how to live. We share experiences, cultures and perspectives that help people look again at what they have taken for granted—and decide for themselves what comes next.
Made by two friends living in Japan and Canada, every episode starts with a question rather than a conclusion. We bring different experiences to the same table—not to compare countries, but to notice how many versions of ‘normal’ exist.
Company information
The podcast
Each episode begins with one theme and two lived perspectives. We look beyond the difference itself to understand what shaped it—and leave space for listeners to decide what they think.
