The Expat Japan Chapter welcomes you!
Konbanwa and a heart-felt welcome to the InterNations community for expats in Japan! Our international network caters to your specific needs and supports you in relocating to and putting down roots in Japan. Living abroad in a foreign country is definitely a great intercultural experience, but typically brings up a lot of questions for expatriates Japan: ʺWhat is the best international school for my kids in Japan?ʺ, ʺHow do I find a job for my spouse in Sapporo?ʺ or ʺWhere in Tokyo can I meet fellow expats and compatriots from my home country?” Just to name a few examples…
InterNations aim is to help you, as an expatriate, in becoming part of the Japan expat community and exploring the Japanese way of life in all its aspects: From enjoying the traditional sushi and sashimi to celebrating Tennō Tanjōbi.
Next to Japan we host several more communities in Asia & Oceania, e.g., our network of China expats. Or you might be interested in our expat Malaysia community which is also fairly active.

Enjoy the Japan Expats Living
With attractions ranging from Hokkaido's wide open spaces and snowy frontier to the semi-tropical southern island of Okinawa, Japan fascinates expatriates and globetrotters of many nationalities every year. The sizable expat Japan community is, however, mostly drawn to the country by the urban growth of Tokyo and its political as well as economic opportunities, e.g. in the high-tech sector. Whether you move to and live in Japan for professional or private reasons, you’ll surely take with you lifelong memories of great international experiences and intercultural exchange.
