Working and living in Japan – Valuable Information from A to Z
Moving to and living in Japan requires a wealth of up-to-date, trustworthy information on various aspects of Japanese expat life. Living abroad in Japan raises a lot of questions such as: ʺHow do I find the best relocation services for moving to Japan?ʺ, ʺDo I really need business cards for every meeting or professional encounter?ʺ, ʺWhich international school in Tokyo should our kids attend?ʺ or, ʺHow do I obtain a work permit for my spouse at the Japanese municipality in Sapporo?ʺ
Collecting all that information on working and living in Japan is quite laborious and time-consuming. Our InterNations Expat Guide for Japan aims to help you and provides you with reliable info on those topics that matter to expats living in Japan. The Guide includes information on many different areas ranging from restaurants and nightlife, to food & shopping or housing and household, up to administration & finance. Typical questions related to expat life abroad, such as ʺIs a bow or a handshake the acceptable way of greeting a Japanese person?ʺ, will no longer remain unanswered.
