My own experience of Working in Japan: Summary Guide

Hi readers (or maybe I am just talking to myself).


Well, whether I have readers or not, this series of Working in Japan posts will be describing my own journey in moving to Japan to work. I find that such information is difficult to obtain and even more difficult to find a place that summarizes the information well, so this is my attempt at that.


I moved internally to the Japan office of my company officially in Jan 2021, but was physically based in Singapore. During this whole time, Japan closed their borders and didn't allow anyone to apply for work visas, so I was stuck


They just opened up in Mar 2022, and below is a list of my experiences. I will update them with links as we go, so stay tuned.


Pre-departure

  • COE application
  • Work visa application
  • Relocation services
  • Souvenirs for Japanese colleagues
  • Pre departure PCR Testing 
  • Flight to Tokyo

Tokyo Stay Related
  • Temporary Accommodation
  • Long Term Accommodation
  • Groceries
  • Cooking ideas
  • Recycling
  • Shopping for furniture

Tokyo/Japan Travels
  • Cherry Blossoms

Will expand on it as I think of stuff.
