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.

From the amazing beaches of the Costa del Sol and Costa de la Luz to the thriving capital, the vibrant Catalonian coastal city of Barcelona, you can meet supportive and friendly Japanese expats in Spain on InterNations.

Meet and Mingle with Fellow Japanese in Spain

Additionally, InterNations hosts regular expat events and activities in Spain. Our get-togethers are sure to cater to your taste as well: as a member, you can partake in cozy gatherings to enjoy some Spanish paella, join one of our huge expat celebrations with hundreds of participants in Madrid’s best locations, and much more. Want to discover Spain? Go on a weekend trip with your fellow expats to see Galicia's pilgrimage sites at Santiago de Compostela 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 Spain!
