Tips and Advice on Spain from Your Fellow Japanese Expats

Obviously, expat life in Spain 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 Spanish mentality and way of life. Japanese in Spain are a part of our community, calling cities such as Barcelona, Sevilla, Madrid, and many others home. You can use InterNations to look for fellow Japanese in Madrid, 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 Spanish InterNations Community!

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