🌙 Good evening.
This is Tomo from OYASUMI JAPANESE CHANNEL.
On this channel, I share folktales from Japan and around the world in Easy Japanese (JLPT N5 level).
Subtitles are available in 29 languages, making it perfect for both Japanese learners and relaxed listening.
Tonight’s story is the Japanese folktale “Neko Danka.”
It tells the heartwarming story of a poor monk and his beloved cat, Tora.
It is a gentle tale of kindness, gratitude, and a mysterious miracle.
Please enjoy it slowly until the end.
