Socializing with fellow Japanese is an important facet of living abroad and can be a huge stepping stone in getting to know the Guatemalan mentality and way of life. Japanese in Guatemala are a part of our community, calling cities such as Puerto San José, Quetzaltenango, Guatemala Ciudad, and many others home. You can use InterNations to look for fellow Japanese in Guatemala Ciudad, for example.
