Looking for Japanese Expats in the Philippines?

Being an expat in the Philippines means much more than packing your belongings and taking care of paperwork. Keeping in touch with your Japanese compatriots is a big part of the expat experience and can help you understand the Filipino people and their culture better. With InterNations, meeting other Japanese in the Philippines is a breeze, no matter if you are in Cebu, Manila, Davao or any other expat magnet across the country. Just take our network of Japanese in Manila, for example.

If you are in the mood to speak your mother tongue again, to learn about the best spots to shop for Japanese food, or to discuss your favorite sports team’s latest match, join the Japanese InterNations Community:

• In our huge expat network, you can easily find like-minded expatriates from Japan.
• Our the Philippines Expat Forums are a great place to share experiences and advice – for example how to find a nanny speaking your language or where to get sushi and sashimi in Manila...

From Gitnang Luzon, the "Rice Bowl of the Philippines" to the shores of Manila Bay, we’ll get you in touch with helpful and friendly Japanese expats in the Philippines.
