Tips and Advice on Iceland from Your Fellow Japanese Expats

Obviously, expat life in Iceland goes well beyond shipping your belongings and taking care of red tape. Socializing with fellow Japanese is an important facet of living abroad and can be a huge stepping stone in getting to know the Icelandic mentality and way of life. Japanese in Iceland are a part of our community, calling cities such as Akureyri, Keflavik, Reykjavik, and many others home. You can use InterNations to look for fellow Japanese in Reykjavik, for example.

Wondering where to shop for Japanese delicatessen, want to discuss your national team's latest match, or simply talk to someone in your native language? Become a member of the Icelandic InterNations Community!

  • Our network is the best place to meet expats from Japan.
  • On the Iceland Expat Forums, you can get competent answers to all your expat-related questions: how to find a babysitter fluent in your mother tongue, where to get sushi and sashimi in Reykjavik, etc.
