Yo from Osaka.
Not new to Japan. Looonnnggg term resident.
New to this website. Thanks!
The Sound Garden Cafe & Bar downtown Osaka, on Soemoncho at Dotonbori bridge and
Unbeaten Japan nature travel company are my main pursuits, with a little bit of minpaku remaining in Kyoto, if you're in need of a place to stay.
Pretty sure that I may be able to help people here more than I can be helped. Over 27yrs living in the Kansai area.
Cheers!

Not trying to sell anything (necessarily…), just wanted to give people an idea of who I am & what I do.
thanks!

Hello All!

Ultimately I would love to live in Kyoto area and make a living off my artwork, but I don't think that's possible at the moment. I currently work as a specifier for my city's transit system and would like to transfer that to the transit system there if possible.

Hi All,

I'm totally new in these platform, my planning to move there in Japan seeking any Hotel front line job if possible.

Wondering any possibilities information if you all do have please contacting me for further follow up. My Japanese languages still consider very basic, but is not a big deal for me to learn all the time.

Thank you!

Hello,
thanks for taking the time to read my post.
we are moving to Tokyo, Japan from Sydney, Australia with our 3 children aged 5, 7 and 9. We can move with work next month but I am reluctant to move in time for the long Summer school break which will leave me in a new city trying to entertain 3 young kids for 2 months.
I therefore think it will be better to arrive in July ready for the new school year. Our office is near Tamagawa train station in Setagaya. I would love some advice on:
1) what is the best time of year to arrive with a family?
2) what international school options would you recommend for the kids (I am hoping to send them all to one school and we really prefer co-educational rather than single sex)?
3) nice places to live in the area / near schools?
4) what is the best way to do weekly food shops if we don't have a car?
5) should we bring our bicycles?
Thanks so much. I look forward to hearing about Tokyo from some people who are living there with family.

Hello

New to this site - not really sure if it can help me or not.
Partner is currently living in Japan for 10 months on a contact playing basketball.
I Plan to join him - but always kind of lonely on my front as majority of the time he is training. Will be based in shizuoka. Just putting feelers out i guess and seeing if I can learn anything about the place that'll make the transition easier

Thanks!

Zo

Have a great and peaceful day to everyone.🙂

hi,  i am planning to move to japan and hoping for some help and advise from this forum. thank you.

I'm Poppy, and this may sound strange, but I'm thirteen.

My dream is to be an engineer in Osaka, Japan. I currently live in England, but plan on moving after finishing tech college here.

At the moment, my parents have signed me up for a tech college that begins in year ten (when I'm fifteen) so I know what my education path is, but there is a lot more to consider.

At the moment, my main focuses are saving money (once I get a job- ), learning Japanese and the culture and social etiquette I should know.

I figured that planning out what to do at a younger age gives me more time and leaves me better prepared, so please don't judge me.

Thanks for reading!
