Japan Expat

Japan's location on the Eastern edge of Asia and the fact that it is an island nation, has profoundly guided it's development in many ways but significantly it's culture and economy. 98 percent of the population are ethnically Japanese. Foreigners are known as 'gaijin' or 'gaikokujin'. The exact meaning and attitude when these words are used is fiercely debated (a discussion on the word can be read here... Gaijin).

Japan can be a real headache for the first time visitor. Despite the fact that English is studied for years in Japan, the level of conversational English is not high. Strange custums, diverse cuisine, high cost of living can frustrate you but sharing in an online expat community like ours can help you find your feet.
