Tips and Advice on Portugal from Your Fellow Japanese Expats

Obviously, expat life in Portugal 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 Portuguese mentality and way of life. Japanese in Portugal are a part of our community, calling cities such as Porto, Faro, Lisbon, and many others home. You can use InterNations to look for fellow Japanese in Lisbon, 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 Portuguese InterNations Community!

  • Our network is the best place to meet expats from Japan.
  • On the Portugal 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 Lisbon, etc.
  • The InterNations Places database for Portugal has information on the nearest Japanese embassy and many other institutions.

From the Algarve to the Serra da Estrela mountain range, the Douro Valley, you can meet supportive and friendly Japanese expats in Portugal on InterNations.

Meet and Mingle with Fellow Japanese in Portugal

Additionally, InterNations hosts regular expat events and activities in Portugal. Our get-togethers are sure to cater to your taste as well: as a member, you can partake in cozy gatherings to enjoy some Portuguese cozido à Portuguesa, join one of our huge expat celebrations with hundreds of participants in Lisbon’s best locations, and much more. Want to discover Portugal? Go on a weekend trip with your fellow expats to see the westernmost point of mainland Europe and other beautiful landmarks.

Our meet-ups and activities offer many wonderful opportunities to mingle with expatriates hailing from Japan and dozens of other countries in a casual setting. Just sign up for your InterNations membership and you’ll soon hear a cordial Konbanwa from our Japanese living in Portugal!
