Tokyo Expat Events

Enjoy your Tokyo Expat Experience

The "Imperial Eastern Capital" opens its intercultural doors to you, beginning with its attractions such as the Imperial Palace Area, especially attractive during plum blossom season in spring,, the traditional celebration of Japan’s Tennō Tanjōbi, to savoring a dish of sushi and sashimi. The InterNations network is a place made for the Tokyo expat and offers insider tips and opportunities to ensure that you can make the most of your life as an expat in Japan. Our members are looking forward to offer their advice and knowledge from experience when you come across one of the many questions about the life as an expatriate in Tokyo, from ʺIs a bow or a handshake the acceptable way of greeting a Japanese person?ʺ to ʺDo I really need business cards for every meeting or professional encounter?ʺ
