327. The Little Happy Moments We Never Talk About | ほっこり日和の紹介

Everyday Japanese Podcast

About

We all have those little happy moments — too small to tell anyone about, but that quietly make your day. Lately I've been wanting to hold onto them, so I built a quiet website to collect them: Hokkori Biyori. (Hokkori is that warm feeling when your heart softens; biyori means a lovely day for something.) It's a collection of short true stories, about 100–150 characters each, drawn from my own life and the people I've met along the way, no likes, no sharing buttons, just a calm space to keep these small moments.

In this episode, I talk about why I made it, and read a few of the stories aloud, including one written by a student of mine🤍
