On July 7, 2012, Oh My Japan was opened to the public. We chose the date of Tanabata because of its significance as a Japanese holiday about the connections between people (Wikipedia entry on Tanabata).
Seven years ago, we started with just one member; today, more than 66,000 people have joined the site, and more than half a million messages have been exchanged. Take a look at how our membership has changed over time.
